Chapter 6, Problem 6.6CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: This needs to be shown that if a valve separating pure A and a mixture of A and B is opened, where both A and B are ideal gases with initial pressure 1 bar then the mixing of gases takes place.

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.
