Question

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11

Answer 1

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

$K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}$

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

$2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}$

Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  

Thus, Kp is:

$K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}$
