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 temp in a sealed container: 2SO3(g) ---- 2SO2(g) + O2 (g). Initially, the vessel is charged at 1000 K with SO3(g) at a partial pressure of 0.500 atm. At equilibrium the SO3 partial pressure is 0.200 atm. Calculate the value of Kp at 1000 K.
