At 650 K, the reaction MgCO3(s)?MgO(s)+CO2(g) has Kp=0.026. A 12.8L container at 650 K has 1.0g of MgO(s) and CO2 at P = 0.0260 atm. The container is then compressed to a volume of 0.900L .
Find the mass of MgCO3 that is formed.
Approximate .49 gram
Ksp = PCO2
Case 1
Pco2= nRT/V
V= 12.8 R = .082
PCO2 = .00624
Case 2
Pco2 == .00044 where V = 0.9 after appling above mentione formula
MgCO3 ---------------> MgO + CO2
.041 Mole .00624 Mole Initialy
(Limiting Reactant for back reaction)
.00582 .00044 Mole Finally
wherer .0058 = .00624 - .00044
so final produced weight of MgCO3 is.0058 x (24 + 12 + 48) = 0.49 gram
