Chapter 14.4, Problem 5PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ of decomposition is to be calculated for the given equilibrium reaction using the value of $K_{\text{p}}$ of formation.

Concept introduction: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ of decomposition is calculated by the formula,

$K_{\text{p}}\text{of}\text{decomposition}=\frac{1}{K_{\text{p}}\text{of}\text{formation}}$

To determine: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ of decomposition for the given reaction.
