At -20 and 1 atm pressure, a cylinder is filled with equal number of H2, I2 and HI molecules for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g), the Kp for the process is x 10-1. x = . [Given : R = 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1]
- 2
- 1
- 10
- 0.01
Answer
(3) 10
Solution
ng = 2 - (1 + 1) = 0 ⇒ Kp = Kc (no T, P or R term)
⇒ Kp = (nHI)2nH2 nI2
∵ nH2 = nI2 = nHI = n ⇒ Kp = n2n n = 1
⇒ 1 = x 10-1 ⇒ x = 10
