Chapter 14, Problem 74E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature of the reaction, initial partial pressure of the reactant of the given reaction and the value of $K_{\text{p}}$ for the reaction is given. The total pressure at equilibrium is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ is calculated by the formula,
   $K_{\text{p}}=\frac{{\left(P_{{\text{SO}}_3}\right)}^2}{{\left(P_{{\text{SO}}_2}\right)}^2\times \left(P_{{\text{O}}_2}\right)}$

To determine: The total pressure at equilibrium for the given reaction.
