The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine for which of the given reactions the degree of dissociation (α) and the equilibrium constant (K_p) are related by the equation: \[ K_p = \frac{4 \alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2} \] We will analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Reaction 1 **Reaction:** \( N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO_2(g) \) 1. **Initial Moles:** - At \( t = 0 \): 1 mole of \( N_2O_4 \), 0 moles of \( NO_2 \). 2. **At Equilibrium:** - Moles of \( N_2O_4 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( NO_2 \) = \( 2\alpha \) 3. **Total Moles at Equilibrium:** - Total moles = \( (1 - \alpha) + 2\alpha = 1 + \alpha \) 4. **K_p Expression:** - \( K_p = \frac{(P_{NO_2})^2}{P_{N_2O_4}} \) - \( P_{NO_2} = \frac{2\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P \) - \( P_{N_2O_4} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P \) 5. **Substituting into K_p:** \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{2\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P\right)^2}{\frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P} \] \[ K_p = \frac{4\alpha^2 P^2}{(1 + \alpha)^2} \cdot \frac{1 + \alpha}{1 - \alpha} \] \[ K_p = \frac{4\alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2} \] This matches the given relationship. ### Step 2: Analyze Reaction 2 **Reaction:** \( H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 HI(g) \) 1. **Initial Moles:** - At \( t = 0 \): 1 mole of \( H_2 \), 1 mole of \( I_2 \), 0 moles of \( HI \). 2. **At Equilibrium:** - Moles of \( H_2 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( I_2 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( HI \) = \( 2\alpha \) 3. **Total Moles at Equilibrium:** - Total moles = \( (1 - \alpha) + (1 - \alpha) + 2\alpha = 2 \) 4. **K_p Expression:** - \( K_p = \frac{(P_{HI})^2}{P_{H_2} P_{I_2}} \) - \( P_{HI} = \frac{2\alpha}{2} P = \alpha P \) - \( P_{H_2} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{2} P \) - \( P_{I_2} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{2} P \) 5. **Substituting into K_p:** \[ K_p = \frac{(\alpha P)^2}{\left(\frac{1 - \alpha}{2} P\right)\left(\frac{1 - \alpha}{2} P\right)} \] \[ K_p = \frac{4\alpha^2 P^2}{(1 - \alpha)^2 P^2} \] \[ K_p = \frac{4\alpha^2}{(1 - \alpha)^2} \] This does not match the given relationship. ### Step 3: Analyze Reaction 3 **Reaction:** \( N_2(g) + 3 H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3(g) \) 1. **Initial Moles:** - At \( t = 0 \): 1 mole of \( N_2 \), 3 moles of \( H_2 \), 0 moles of \( NH_3 \). 2. **At Equilibrium:** - Moles of \( N_2 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( H_2 \) = \( 3 - 3\alpha \) - Moles of \( NH_3 \) = \( 2\alpha \) 3. **Total Moles at Equilibrium:** - Total moles = \( (1 - \alpha) + (3 - 3\alpha) + 2\alpha = 4 - 2\alpha \) 4. **K_p Expression:** - \( K_p = \frac{(P_{NH_3})^2}{P_{N_2} (P_{H_2})^3} \) - \( P_{NH_3} = \frac{2\alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P \) - \( P_{N_2} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P \) - \( P_{H_2} = \frac{3 - 3\alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P \) 5. **Substituting into K_p:** \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{2\alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P\right)^2}{\left(\frac{1 - \alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P\right)\left(\frac{3 - 3\alpha}{4 - 2\alpha} P\right)^3} \] This expression will not simplify to the required form. ### Step 4: Analyze Reaction 4 **Reaction:** \( PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g) \) 1. **Initial Moles:** - At \( t = 0 \): 1 mole of \( PCl_3 \), 1 mole of \( Cl_2 \), 0 moles of \( PCl_5 \). 2. **At Equilibrium:** - Moles of \( PCl_3 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( Cl_2 \) = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of \( PCl_5 \) = \( \alpha \) 3. **Total Moles at Equilibrium:** - Total moles = \( (1 - \alpha) + (1 - \alpha) + \alpha = 2 - \alpha \) 4. **K_p Expression:** - \( K_p = \frac{P_{PCl_5}}{P_{PCl_3} P_{Cl_2}} \) - \( P_{PCl_5} = \frac{\alpha}{2 - \alpha} P \) - \( P_{PCl_3} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{2 - \alpha} P \) - \( P_{Cl_2} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{2 - \alpha} P \) 5. **Substituting into K_p:** \[ K_p = \frac{\frac{\alpha}{2 - \alpha} P}{\left(\frac{1 - \alpha}{2 - \alpha} P\right)\left(\frac{1 - \alpha}{2 - \alpha} P\right)} \] This will not yield the required form. ### Conclusion After analyzing all four reactions, we find that only the first reaction \( N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO_2(g) \) satisfies the relationship \( K_p = \frac{4 \alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2} \). ### Final Answer The correct reaction is: **Option 1: \( N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO_2(g) \)** ---
