Question
Consider the following reaction in a closed reaction flask. If 1.50 atm of gas A is allowed to react with 0.500 atm of gas B and the reaction goes to completion at constant temperature and volume, what is the total pressure in the reaction flask at the end of the reaction? What are the partial pressures of the gases in the flask?
6A(g) + 2B(g) ? 2A3B(g)
Explanation / Answer
6A(g) + 2B(g) ? 2A3B(g)
as per the abovw eq. for 1mole of A 1/3 moles of B is required to form 1/3 moles of A3B
0.500 atm of A3B is produced, and since no other gases remain, 0.500 atm is the total pressure
