Question

Sulfur trioxide decomposes at high temperature in a sealed container:
2S03(g) = 2S02(g) + O2(g)
Initially, the vessel is charged at 1000 K with SO3(g) at a partial pressure of 0.5 atm. At equilibrium SO3.
partial pressure is 0.3 atm. Calculate the value of Kp at 1000 K.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sulfur trioxide decomposes at high temperature in a sealed container:

2S03(g) = 2S02(g) + O2(g)

Initially, the vessel is charged at 1000 K with SO3(g) at a partial pressure of 0.5 atm. At equilibrium SO3.

partial pressure is 0.3 atm. Calculate the value of Kp at 1000 K.

Answer 2

As done in attachment. let x be the partial pressure of SO2 and O2 at equilibrium. Satisfy the condition in question as done in attachment.
