Chapter 15, Problem 15.17QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To solve and identified for thermal decomposition of given statement of chemical equilibrium reaction.

Concept Introduction:

Chemical equilibrium: The term applied to reversible chemical reactions. It is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. The equilibrium is achieved; the concentrations of reactant and products become constant.

Kp:  The equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is unites number, although it relates the pressures.

Thermal decomposition: This type of reaction caused by heat, or decomposition of substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes.
