The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to relate the total pressure \( p \) to the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction: \[ AB(g) \rightleftharpoons A(g) + B(g) \] Given that \( AB \) is 33% dissociated at a total pressure of \( p \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Initial Conditions Assume we start with \( C \) moles of \( AB \). Initially, the moles of \( A \) and \( B \) are both 0. ### Step 2: Calculate Moles at Equilibrium Since \( AB \) is 33% dissociated, we can calculate the number of moles dissociated: - Degree of dissociation \( \alpha = 0.33 \) - Moles of \( AB \) dissociated = \( 0.33C \) At equilibrium: - Moles of \( AB \) remaining = \( C - 0.33C = 0.67C \) - Moles of \( A \) formed = \( 0.33C \) - Moles of \( B \) formed = \( 0.33C \) ### Step 3: Calculate Total Moles at Equilibrium The total number of moles at equilibrium is: \[ \text{Total moles} = \text{Moles of } AB + \text{Moles of } A + \text{Moles of } B = 0.67C + 0.33C + 0.33C = 1.33C \] ### Step 4: Calculate Partial Pressures To find the partial pressures, we need to calculate the mole fractions: - Mole fraction of \( AB \): \[ \text{Mole fraction of } AB = \frac{0.67C}{1.33C} = \frac{0.67}{1.33} \] - Mole fraction of \( A \): \[ \text{Mole fraction of } A = \frac{0.33C}{1.33C} = \frac{0.33}{1.33} \] - Mole fraction of \( B \): \[ \text{Mole fraction of } B = \frac{0.33C}{1.33C} = \frac{0.33}{1.33} \] Now, we can express the partial pressures in terms of the total pressure \( p \): - Partial pressure of \( AB \): \[ P_{AB} = \left(\frac{0.67}{1.33}\right) p \] - Partial pressure of \( A \): \[ P_A = \left(\frac{0.33}{1.33}\right) p \] - Partial pressure of \( B \): \[ P_B = \left(\frac{0.33}{1.33}\right) p \] ### Step 5: Write the Expression for \( K_p \) The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) is given by: \[ K_p = \frac{P_A \cdot P_B}{P_{AB}} \] Substituting the expressions for the partial pressures: \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{0.33}{1.33} p\right) \cdot \left(\frac{0.33}{1.33} p\right)}{\left(\frac{0.67}{1.33} p\right)} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{0.33^2}{1.33^2} p^2\right)}{\left(\frac{0.67}{1.33} p\right)} = \frac{0.33^2 p}{0.67 \cdot 1.33} \] ### Step 7: Relate \( p \) to \( K_p \) Rearranging gives: \[ p = \frac{K_p \cdot 0.67 \cdot 1.33}{0.33^2} \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Numerical Value Calculating the numerical value: \[ p = \frac{0.67 \cdot 1.33}{0.33^2} K_p \] Calculating \( \frac{0.67 \cdot 1.33}{0.33^2} \) gives approximately \( 8.1 \). Thus, we can conclude: \[ p \approx 8 K_p \] ### Final Answer The relation between total pressure \( p \) and \( K_p \) is: \[ p = 8 K_p \]
