Gaseous indium dihydride is formed from the elements at elevated temperature: In(g)+H2(g)⇌InH2(g),Kp=1.48 at 973 K The partial pressures measured in a reaction vessel are PInPH2PInH2===0.0550atm0.0290atm0.0780atm Determine the equilibrium partial pressure of In. Determine the equilibrium partial pressure of H2. Determine the equilibrium partial pressure of InH2.
In(g) + H2(g) ⇌ InH2(g

Kp = PInH2/PIn PH2
1.48 = 0.078-x/(0.055+x)(0.029+x)
1.48*(0.055+x)(0.029+x) = 0.078-x
x = 0.062
PIn = 0.055+x = 0.055+0.062 =0.117atm
PH2 = 0.029+x = 0.029+0.062 = 0.091atm
PInH2 = 0.078-x = 0.078-0.062 = 0.016atm
