Chapter 15, Problem 89IAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $K_P$ at 700 ⁰C should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant of a reaction can be expressed in terms of $K_P\text{ or }{K}_C$.

To calculate the value of $K_P$, the partial pressure of the gases in the mixture can be used.

Thus, partial pressure of the gases can be calculated as follows:

$\text{Partial pressure = Mole fraction }\times \text{}\text{}\text{Total pressure of the system }$
