Gaseous indium dihydride is formed from the elements at elevated temperature: In(g)+H2(g)⇌InH2(g),Kp=1.48 at 973 K

The partial pressures measured in a reaction vessel are

PIn =0.0540atm
PH2= 0.0250atm
PInH2 =0.0780atm

Calculate Qp and give equal partial pressure for In, H2, and InH2.

The reaction given is:

In (g) + H₂ (g) ⇔ InH₂ (g), the Kp is 1.48 at 973 K.

The partial pressures measured in the reaction vessel is Partial pressure of In is 0.0540 atm, partial pressure of H₂ is 0.0250 atm, and the partial pressure of InH₂ is 0.0780 atm. By using the table given in the attachment below, the value of PInH₂ is (0.078-x), PIn is (0.054 + x), and the value of PH2 is (0.025 + x).

Kp = PInH₂/PIn × PH₂ = (0.078 - x) / (0.054 +x) (0.025 + x)

1.48 = (0.078 - x) / (0.054 +x) (0.025 + x)

x = 0.06689

Now the partial pressures of In, H₂ and InH₂ will be,

PH₂ = 0.025 + x = 0.025 + 0.0668 = 0.0918 atm

PIn = 0.054 + 0.0668 = 0.1208 atm

PInH₂ = 0.078 - 0.0668 = 0.0112 atm

Now the Qp or the reaction quotient will be,

Qp = (0.078) / (0.054) (0.025) = 57.78.
