The equilibrium partial pressure of
Once again, before doing any actual calculations, take a second to try and predict what's going to happen when you mix those amounts of the gases together.
Notice that the equilibrium constant,
You could predict that the equilibrium partial pressure of
To confirm this, calculate the reaction quotient,
Since
I......0.20...............0.010......0.010
C....(+
E....0.20+2x.........0.010-x....0.010-x
The equilibrium constant will be equal to
Take the square root of both sides of the equation to get
This is equivalent to
As a result, the equilibrium partial pressure of
Rounded to two sig figs, the answer will be
Indeed, the equilibrium partial pressure of
The concentration =
Initial partial pressures (Atm):
At equilibrium we can assume x mol of
This means that the partial pressure of
Because the value of Kp is so small I am going to assume that the reaction virtually goes to completion right to left.
This means that the equilibrium partial pressure of
Concentration
