Interpretation:
Calculate the equilibrium constant of (Kp) given the statement of decomposition reactions.
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium constant: The respective values of K depend on whether the solution being calculated for is using concentration (or) partial pressure. The gas equilibrium constant related to the equilibrium (K) and both are derived from the ideal gas.
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.
