Kp for the following reaction is 3.0 at 1000 K. CO2(g) + C(s) 2CO(g) What will be the value of Kc for the reaction at the same temperature? (Given : R = 0.083 L bar K-1 mol-1)
- 3.6
- 0.36
- 3.6 10-2
- 3.6 10-3
Answer
(3) 3.6 10-2
Solution
Kp = Kc(RT) ng
ng = 2 - 1 = 1 (solid carbon is not counted)
Kc = KpRT
= 3.00.083 1000
= 3.083 = 0.036
∴ Kc = 3.6 10-2
Answer: (3)
