Question

For the isomerization reaction:
 
butane ⇌ isobutane
 
Kp equals 25 at 500°C. If the initial pressures of butane and isobutane are 10. atm and 0.0 atm, respectively, what are the pressures of the two gases at equilibrium? (This is a 1:1 stoichiometry)

 

P(butane) = 10 atm and P(isobutane) = 0.40 atm
P(butane) = 0.40 atm and P(isobutane) = 10. atm
P(butane) = 9.6 atm and P(isobutane) = 0.38 atm
P(butane) = 0.38 atm and P(isobutane) = 9.6 atm
