Chapter 15, Problem 15.103SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{c}}$ and ${\text{K}}_{\text{p}}$ in the given reaction needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

For the equilibrium reaction, the expression for the equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration of product to reactant raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

The relation between equilibrium constant with respect to concentration and pressure can be represented as follows:

${\text{K}}_{\text{P}}{\text{=K}}_{\text{c}}\text{×}{\left(\text{RT}\right)}^{\text{n}}$

Here, n is change in number of moles of gases that is product-reactant, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The concentrations needs to be determined, when the mixture reaches the equilibrium.

Concept introduction:

For the equilibrium reaction, the expression for the equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration of product to reactant raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
