Chapter 5, Problem 5.52E

For the equilibrium

${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\rightleftharpoons \text{2Br}\left(\text{g}\right)$ at $1000\text{K}$, $K=4.55$. In a $\text{1}\text{.00-L}$ flask, $0.012\text{mol}$ of ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ is introduced. (a) Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of both species. (b) After equilibrium has been established, the volume of the flask doubles to $2.00\text{L}$. Calculate the new equilibrium partial pressures after the new equilibrium has been established.
