Question

A sample of NOCl decomposes according to the following equation:

2 NOCl(g)  2 NO(g) + 1 Cl2(g)

An equilibrium mixture in a 5-L vessel at 209 oC, contains 0.0220 g of NOCl, 0.0114 g of NO, and 0.0533 g of Cl2.




(a) Calculate KP for this reaction at this temperature.

KP = _______  .

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

Recall the given decomposition reaction,                        2 NOCl g    2 NO g  +  1 Cl2 g       At equilibrium, 0.0220 g of NOCl, 0.0114 g of NO and 0.0533 g of Cl2 are present in a 5 L vessel at 209 °C . We have to calculate the Kp for this reaction .
