Consider the following reaction: NO(g) + SO₃(g) ⇌ NO₂(g) + SO₂(g)
A reaction mixture initially contains 2.0 bar NO₂ and 1.0 bar SO₂. Determine the equilibrium pressure of SO₂ if K_p for the reaction at this temperature is 0.0118.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is:K_p = P_NO2P_SO2 / P_NOP_SO3Substituting the given values into the equilibrium constant expression, we get:0.0118 = (2.0 bar)(P_SO2) / (1.0 bar)(1.0 bar)Solving for P_SO2, we get:P_SO2 = 0.0118 barTherefore, the equilibrium pressure of SO₂ is 0.0118 bar.
