Chapter 12, Problem 75QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given statement needs to be criticized.

Concept introduction:

The system is said to be in equilibrium if the there is no change in the partial pressure or concentration of reactant and product takes place.

For a general equilibrium reaction as follows:

$\text{A}\left(g\right)+\text{B}\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons \text{C}\left(g\right)+\text{D}\left(g\right)$

The expression for the equilibrium constant is represented as follows:

$K=\frac{\left(P_C\right)\left(P_D\right)}{\left(P_A\right)\left(P_B\right)}$

Here, to calculate the equilibrium constant, the values of partial pressure of all the species in reactant and product side are required.
