Chapter 15.2, Problem 3PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial pressure of the product and the reactant formed in the reaction are given. The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant, $K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction is,

$K_{\text{c}}=\frac{{\left(P_{{\text{SO}}_3}\right)}^2}{{\left(P_{{\text{SO}}_2}\right)}^2\left(P_{{\text{O}}_2}\right)}$

To determine: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction.
