Huge plumes of sulfur dioxide, SO2, have been observed being ejected from the volcanoes that dot the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io. This sulfur dioxide is likely formed through the reaction between sulfur and oxygen at high pressures and temperatures below Io’s surface.   S (g)  +  O2 (g)  ⇄  SO2 (g)                             Kp = 20 @ 735 K   We decide to perform an experiment to replicate the conditions below the surface of Io by filling a tank so that PS = 3.0 atm, PO2 = 7.0 atm, PSO2 = 0.0 atm at 735 K. What will be the pressures of S, O2, and SO2 in this tank at equilibrium?

Question

Huge plumes of sulfur dioxide, SO2, have been observed being ejected from the volcanoes that dot the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io. This sulfur dioxide is likely formed through the reaction between sulfur and oxygen at high pressures and temperatures below Io’s surface.

 

S (g)  +  O2 (g)  ⇄  SO2 (g)                             Kp = 20 @ 735 K

 

We decide to perform an experiment to replicate the conditions below the surface of Io by filling a tank so that PS = 3.0 atm, PO2 = 7.0 atm, PSO2 = 0.0 atm at 735 K. What will be the pressures of S, O2, and SO2 in this tank at equilibrium?
