Chapter 6, Problem 6.3CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The condition at which ${\text{K}}_{\text{p }}={\text{K}}_{\text{x}}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: A reversible chemical reaction can move in either forward or backward direction. The stage of a reversible reaction at which the rate of forward and backward reaction become equal to each other is called an equilibrium stage. The equilibrium constant for a reaction is the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of the product and reactant. If the reaction is given in the gaseous state, then the equilibrium pressure must be considered.
