At a certain temperature, the Kp for the decomposition of H2S is 0.714.
H2S(g) <-----> H2(g) + S(g)
Initially, only H2S is present at a pressure of 0.102 atm in a closed container. What is the total pressure in the container at equilibrium?
H2S(g) <-----> H2(g) + S(g)
initially 0.102 atm 0 0
change x x x
equil 0.102-x x x
Kp = x^2/(0.102-x) = 0.714
x = 0.0905
total pressure at equilibrium = 0.102-x+x+x
= 0.102+x
= 0.102+0.0905
= 0.1925 atm
