Question

A sample of SO3 decomposes according to the following equation:

2 SO3(g)  2 SO2(g) + 1 O2(g)

An equilibrium mixture in a 1-L vessel at 635 oC, contains 0.00169 g of SO3, 0.00326 g of SO2, and 0.00290 g of O2.




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

KP =  .



(b) What is the total pressure exerted by the equilibrium mixture of gases?

Ptotal =  atm.
