A vessel at 1000 K contains CO2 with a pressure of 0.5 atm. Some of CO2 is converted into CO on addition of graphite. If total pressure at equilibrium is 0.8 atm, then Kp is :
- 0.18 atm
- 0.3 atm
- 3 atm
- 1.8 atm
Answer
(4) 1.8 atm
Solution
CO2(g) + C(s) 2CO(g)
Ptotal = (0.5 - x) + 2x = 0.8 x = 0.3 atm
pCO2 = 0.2 atm, pCO = 0.6 atm
Kp = (0.6)20.2 = 1.8 atm
Answer: (4)
