Question
1-Calculate the partial pressure (in atm) of Cl2 at equilibrium when 4.38 atm of COCl2 dissociates at 350 K according to the following chemical equilbrium:
***If the 5% approximation is valid, use the assumption to compute the partial pressure. Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.
2-Calculate the partial pressure (in atm) of CH3OH at equilibrium when 4.84 atm of CH3I and 4.84 atm of H2O react at 3000 K according to the following chemical equation:
****Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific notation.
Explanation / Answer
1. let x be the change in partial pressure of COCL2 at equilibrium
Kp = [CO][Cl2]/[COCl2]
8.77 x 10^-10 = x^2/4.38
Thus partial pressure of Cl2 at equilibrium (x) = 6.198 x 10^-5 atm
2. let x be the change in partial pressures of CH3I and H2O at equilibrium
Kp = [CH3OH][HI]/[CH3I][H2O]
7.47 x 10^1 = x^2/(4.84 - x)(4.84 - x)
1749.8923 + 7.47 x 10^1x^2 - 723.096x = x^2
73.7x^2 - 723.096x + 1749.8923 = 0
x = 0.0676 atm
Thus, partial pressure of CH3OH at equilibrium = 6.766 x 10^-2 atm
