A(g) + 2B(g) → C(g) + D(g)

If you initially start with 1.00 atm of both A and B and find that at equilibrium 0.211 atm of C is present, what is the value of Kp for the reaction at the temperature the reaction was run?

0.169

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

A(g) + 2B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)

We can find the pressures at equilibrium using an ICE chart.

       A(g) + 2 B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)

I       1.00     1.00        0        0

C       -x        -2x        +x       +x

E    1.00-x  1.00-2x     x         x

The pressure at equilibrium of C is 0.211 atm, so x = 0.211.

The pressures at equilibrium are:

pA = 1.00-x = 1.00-0.211 = 0.789 atm

pB = 1.00-2x = 1.00-2(0.211) = 0.578 atm

pC = x = 0.211 atm

pD = x = 0.211 atm

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is:

Kp = pC × pD / pA × pB²

Kp = 0.211 × 0.211 / 0.789 × 0.578²

Kp = 0.169

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
