Solve the following problems. You MUST show your work.
1. Consider the following reaction 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g) Write the equilibrium expression, Kp
2. Consider the following reaction 2 H2O(g) + C(s) = H2(g) + CO2(g) Write the equilibrium expression, Kp
(1) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
Equilibrium constant,Kp = (product of the partial pressures of the gaseous products) /(product of the partial pressures of the gaseous products)
Kp = (p2SO3(g))/ (p2SO2(g) x pO2(g))
(2) 2 H2O(g) + C(s) H2(g) + CO2(g)
Equilibrium constant,Kp = (product of the partial pressures of the gaseous products) /(product of the partial pressures of the gaseous products)
Kp = (pH2(g) x pCO2(g) ) / (p2H2O(g)) C(s) is not considered
