Question

16. A certain gas, XY(&), decomposes as represented by the equation above. A sample of each of the three gases is put in a previously evacuated container. The initial partial pressures of the gases are shown in the table below. Initial Partial Gas Pressure (atm) XY ?? 0.010 x2 0.20 Y. 2.0 The temperature of the reaction mixture is held constant. In which direction will the reaction proceed? (A) The reaction will form more products. (B) The reaction will form more reactant. (C) The mixture is at equilibrium, so there will be no change. (D) It cannot be determined unless the volume of the container is known. o the following information.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

2XY(g) <=========> X2(g) + Y2(g)

Kp = 230

From given data,

Q = Px2 . Py2/(Pxy)2

= 0.20 x 20 /(0.01)2

= 4000

So Q > Kp

So, The recation will form more reactants.
