The Kp for the decomposition is 0.76 equilibrium Express the pressure in atmospheres to three significant figures. You may want to reference (DA pages 674-710) Chapter 15 while completing this problem. Pccuinit atm Submit My Answers Give up Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining First, write a balanced chemical equation and set up an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table to track the changes to the partial pressures of CCL and C2. (Carbon is a solid, so it does not contribute to pressure.) For example, A can be used to represent the initial pressure of carbon tetrachloride (P init), and -z can be used to represent the change to its partial pressure. When you set up your equilibrium expression, take into account that 1.5atm PT you set up the equilibrium expression correctly, you will need to solve for z using the quadratic formula. Lastly, use the value of z to calculate the initial pressure of CCL. Continue Provide Feedback

Explanation / Answer

Ans -

CCl4 = 2Cl2 + C

preesure of -

pressure Cl2 + pressure CCl4 = 1.5 atm

Cl2 = x

CCl4 = y

x + y = 1.5

kp = x2 / y

0.76 = x2 / y

y = 1.5-x

x2 / 1.5-x = 0.76

x2 + .76x - 1.14 = 0

x = 0.75 and - 1.5

x = 0.75

y = .75

CCl4 <=> C + 2 Cl2

2x = .75

x = .375

initial pressure - .375 = .75

initial pressure = 1.125
