NH4HS=NH3+H2S the equilibrium pressure at 25 degree Celsius is 0.8 atmosphere then kp for the reaction is ?
1 Answer
#K_P^@ = 0.16#
Well, if we write out the ICE table, it may become clearer...
#"NH"_4"HS"(s) rightleftharpoons "NH"_3(g) + "H"_2"S"(g)#
#"I"" "-" "" "" "" "" "0" "" "" "" "0#
#"C"" "-" "" "" "" "+P_i" "" "+P_i#
#"E"" "-" "" "" "" "" "P_i" "" "" "P_i#
One thing that was NOT mentioned was that
Assuming the gases are ideal, they have the same partial pressure at equilibrium (with coefficients of
Hence, the total pressure is:
#P = 2P_i = "0.8 atm"#
and
#K_P^@ = ((P_(NH_3)//P^@)(P_(H_2S)//P^@))/((["NH"_4"HS"]//c_(NH_4HS)^@))#
The "concentration" of
#"1.17 g"/"mL" xx "1000 mL"/"1 L" xx "1 mol"/"51.112 g" = "22.891 mol/L"#
The standard concentration
#color(blue)(K_P^@) = (P_i//P^@)^2/(cancel(("22.891 mol/L")//("22.891 mol/L"))^(1))#
#= ((1/2 cdot 2P_i)/P^@)^2#
#= ((1/2 cdot 0.8 cancel"atm")/cancel"1 atm")^2#
#= color(blue)(0.16)#
