Chapter 14, Problem 75E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

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

Concept introduction: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ is calculated by the formula,
   $K_{\text{p}}=\frac{{\left(P_{\text{NOCl}}\right)}^2}{{\left(P_{\text{NO}}\right)}^2\times \left(P_{{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}}\right)}$

To determine:

The initial partial pressure of the reactant of the given reaction.
