Consider the reaction:
2NO(g)+Br2(g)⇌2NOBr(g)
Kp=28.4 at 298 K
In a reaction mixture at equilibrium, the partial pressure of NO is
105 torr and that of Br2 is 132 torr .
What is the partial pressure of NOBr in this mixture?
Given reaction is 2NO(g) + Br2(g) ⇌ 2NOBr(g) :Kp = 28.4
The partial pressure of NO = 105 torr
The partial pressure of Br2 = 132 torr
2NO(g) + Br2(g) ⇌ 2NOBr(g)
The equilibrium constant , Kp = p2NOBr(g) / [ p2NO(g) x p Br2(g) ]
From this p2NOBr(g) = Kp x [ p2NO(g) x p Br2(g) ]
Plug the above values we get p2NOBr(g) = 28.4 x [ 1052 x 132]
= 41.3 x 106
p NOBr(g) =
= 6429 torr
Therefore the partial pressure of NOBr in the mixture is 6429 torr
