Question

For the decomposition of the compound represented as nh2coonh4

Answer 1

NH2 COO NH4 - - - - - - - - > 2 NH3 + CO2

At equilibrium condition ,

partial P of carbon dioxide = p

Ammonia = 2 p

Kp = ρ ^2 NH3 x ρ CO2

     = [ 2 ρ ] ^2 x ρ = 4 ρ^3

4 ρ^3 = 2.9 x 10 ^ -5

ρ = 1.9 x 10^ -2

Total pressure = 2p + p = 3p

Total pressure = 3 x 1.9 x 10^ -2

= 0.0581 atm
