Chapter 5, Problem 5B.5E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the formation reaction or water from hydrogen and oxygen, the value of equilibrium constant (in terms of concentration) has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Relationship between $K_p$ and $K_c$:

The relationship between $\text{Kp}$ and $\text{Kc}$ is given by,

$\begin{array}{l}{\text{K}}_{\text{p}}\text{=}{\text{K}}_{\text{c}}\text{×}{\left(\text{RT}\right)}^{\text{Δn}}\\ \text{where,}\\ {\text{K}}_{\text{p}}\text{-}\text{equilibrium}\text{constant}\text{in}\text{terms}\text{of}\text{pressures,}\\ {\text{K}}_{\text{c}}\text{-}\text{equilibrium}\text{constant}\text{in}\text{terms}\text{of}\text{concentration,}\\ \text{Δn}\text{-}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{gaseous}\text{products}\text{-}\text{moles}\text{of}\text{gaseous}\text{reactants,}\\ \text{R}\text{-}\text{gas}\text{constant}\text{and}\text{T}\text{-}\text{temperature}\text{.}\end{array}$
