What is Kp for the reaction at this temperature? For chemical reactions involving ideal gases, the Express your answer numerically. equilibrium constant K can be expressed either in terms of the concentrations of the gases (in M or as a function of the partial pressures of the gases (in atmospheres In the latter case, the equilibrium constant is denoted as Kp to distinguish it from the concentration-based equilibrium constant K.

Explanation / Answer

KC and Kp are related as Kp =KC*(RT) deltan, where deltan= change in no of moles of gases during the reaction for the reaction 2CH4 (g)<---->C2H2 (g)+3H2 (g)= 1+3-2= 2

R=0.0821 L.atm/mole.K and T= 1648deg.c= 1648+273=1921K

Kp= 0.170*(0.0821*1921)2= 4228.535

2. for the reaction, deltan= 2-1-3=-2, T= 299deg.c= 299+273= 572K, R =0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Kp= KC*(RT)deltan, 3.55*10-3= KC*(0.0821*572)-2, KC=7.83
