Nitrous oxide, N₂O, is a gas used as an anesthetic; it is sometimes called "laughing gas." This compound has a strong tendency to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen following the equation: 2N2O(g) 2N2(g) + O2(g) But the reaction is so slow that the gas appears to be stable at room temperature (33 °C). The decomposition reaction has K = 1.3E+34. What is the value of Kp for this reaction at 33 °C? (Express your answer in scientific notation.) Kp= i

Question
Nitrous oxide, N₂O, is a gas used as an anesthetic; it is sometimes called "laughing gas." This compound has a strong tendency to
decompose into nitrogen and oxygen following the equation:
2N2O(g) 2N2(g) + O2(g)
But the reaction is so slow that the gas appears to be stable at room temperature (33 °C). The decomposition reaction has K
= 1.3E+34.
What is the value of Kp for this reaction at 33 °C? (Express your answer in scientific notation.)
Kp= i
