To find:
a) Calculate the equilibrium partial pressures of the reactant and products using the given initial partial pressures of
b) Explain the effect of addition of more
Answer to Problem 14.81QA
Solution:
a) Equilibrium partial pressure of
b) If we add more
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
We need to draw the RICE table for the given reaction and initial partial pressure. Then, we can write the
2) Formula:
Here,
3) Given:
4) Calculations:
a) RICE table for given reaction:
Reaction | |||
Initial | |||
Change | |||
Equilibrium |
This equation fits the general form of a quadratic equation:
We need to solve this quadratic equation
Here
Therefore,
Plugging these values in equation
Solving this equation, we can get two values of
We will use the positive value of
b) After equilibrium is reached, if more
Conclusion:
Using initial partial pressure of
