Chapter 15, Problem 15.156MP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{p}}$ at $\text{T = 1000K}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A general equilibrium reaction can be written as follows:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

For a general reaction, the expression for K_c can be represented as follows:

$K_c=\frac{{\left[C\right]}^c{\left[D\right]}^d}{{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b}$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{p}}$ at $\text{T = 1100K}$ needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

A general equilibrium reaction can be written as follows:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

For a general reaction, the expression for K_c can be represented as follows:

$K_c=\frac{{\left[C\right]}^c{\left[D\right]}^d}{{\left[A\right]}^a{\left[B\right]}^b}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The nature of the heat reaction needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

When the energy in the form of heat is given to start a reaction, the reaction is known as endothermic and if the energy in the form of heat released in a reaction, it is considered as exothermic.
