Chapter 15, Problem 15.84QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Analyze the given statement of different gas phase reaction with respective temperatures ${\text{150}}^{\text{0}}{\text{C and 550}}^{\text{0}}\text{C}$.

Concept Introduction:

Equilibrium pressure: 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 reaction: This reaction caused by heat or decomposition of starting substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. In other words large molecules being broken down into single elements (or) compounds.

Kp and Kc: This equilibrium constants of gaseous mixtures, these difference between the two constants is that Kc is defined by molar concentrations, whereas Kp is defined by the partial pressures of the gasses inside a closed system.

Homogeneous equilibrium: A homogeneous equilibrium involved has a everything present in the same phase and same conditions, for example reactions where everything is a gas, or everything is present in the same solution.
