Consider the following equilibrium.
CS2(g) + 3 O2(g) equilibrium reaction arrow CO2(g) + 2 SO2(g)
If the reaction is started in a container with 5.59 atm CS2 and 13.3 atm O2, what is Kp if the partial pressure of CO2 is 3.76 atm at equilibrium? (There is no change in temperature and the initial partial pressures of the products are equal to 0.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given:

Initial pressure of CS2 = 5.59 atm

Initial pressure of O2 = 13.3 atm

At equilibrium, Partial pressure of CO2 = 3.76 atm

The equilibrium reaction is

CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g)

The equilibrium constant of pressure is defined as the ratio of products of the pressure of products and products of the pressure of reactants each raised to the power of stoichiometric coefficients.

At equilibrium:

Given that Partial pressure of CO2 () = 3.76 atm = x

Partial pressure of SO2 () = 2x = 2 * 3.76 atm = 7.52 atm

Partial pressure of CS2 () = 5.59 – x

= 5.59 – 3.76 atm

Partial pressure of CS2 ()= 1.83 atm

Partial pressure of O2 ()= 13.3 - 3x

= 13.3 – 3(3.76) atm = 13.3 – 11.28 atm

= 2.02 atm.

Now, substitute the values in the equilibrium constant of pressure formula, and simplify.

  

The equilibrium constant of pressure is 14.1 atm-1
