Question

1)Calculate the partial pressure (in atm) of Br2 at equilibrium when 2.35 atm of C2H5Br and 2.35 atm of HBr react at 2500 K according to the following chemical equation:




Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

2)Calculate the partial pressure (in atm) of CO2 at equilibrium when 22.7 g of PbCO3 decomposes at 500 K according to the following chemical equation:




Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.

C2H5Br (g) + HBr (g) C2H6 (g) + Br2 (g) Kp = 5.95×10-2

Explanation / Answer

C2H5Br(g) + HBr (g) C2H6 (g) + Br2 (g)

Kp = pC2H6*pBr2 / pC2H5Br*pHBr

0.0595 = x*x / ((2.35-x)(2.35-x))

x = 0.461 atm

partial pressure (in atm) of Br2 at equilibrium = 0.461 atm


PbCO3(s) PbO(s) + CO2(g)

No of mol of PbCO3 = 22.7/267.21 = 0.085 mol


Kp = pCO2

pCo2 = 0.0269 atm

but for 0.085 mol reaction

pCo2 = 0.0269*0.085 = 0.00229 atm
