Interpretation:
For the following reaction, the percent yield of H2 when an equimolar mixture of CH4 and CO2 with a total pressure of 20.0 atm reaches equilibrium at 1200.K, at which Kp = 3.548×106 has to be found.
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium constant using partial pressure:
The equilibrium constant of partial pressure can be defined as the ratio of products and reactants concentration at equilibrium in terms of partial pressure.
For a reaction,
aA(g)+ bB(g)⇌cC(g)+ dD(g)
The expression of Kp can be given as
Kp = (PC)c(PD)d(PA)a(PB)b
