At a certain temperature, the Kp for the decomposition of H2S is 0.785. H2S(g) to H2(g) + S(g) Initially, only H2S is present at a pressure of 0.142 atm in a closed container. What is the total pressure in the container at equilibrium

Solutions

Expert Solution

H2S (g)   <—>   H2 (g)       +   S (g)

0.142               0               0       (initial)

0.142-x           x               x       (at equilibrium)

Kp = p(H2)*p(O2) / p(H2S)

0.785 = x*x/(0.142-x)

0.11147 - 0.785*x = x^2

x^2 + 0.785*x - 0.11147 = 0

This is quadratic equation (ax^2+bx+c=0)

a = 1

b = 0.785

c = -0.1115

Roots can be found by

x = {-b + sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)}/2a

x = {-b - sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)}/2a

b^2-4*a*c = 1.062

roots are :

x = 0.123 and x = -0.9078

since x can't be negative, the possible value of x is

x = 0.123

Total pressure at equilibrium = 0.142 - x + x + x

= 0.142 + x

= 0.142 + 0.123

= 0.265 atm

Answer: 0.265 atm
