The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) for the reaction: \[ NH_4SH_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons NH_3_{(s)} + H_2S_{(g)} \] we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reaction Components In the given reaction, we have: - Reactants: \( NH_4SH \) (solid) - Products: \( NH_3 \) (solid) and \( H_2S \) (gas) ### Step 2: Determine the Change in Moles of Gas (\( \Delta N_g \)) The change in moles of gas (\( \Delta N_g \)) is calculated as follows: - Moles of gaseous products: 1 (from \( H_2S \)) - Moles of gaseous reactants: 0 (since \( NH_4SH \) is solid and does not contribute to the gas phase) Thus, \[ \Delta N_g = \text{(moles of gaseous products)} - \text{(moles of gaseous reactants)} = 1 - 0 = 1 \] ### Step 3: Relate \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) The relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \) is given by the equation: \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta N_g} \] Where: - \( R \) is the universal gas constant - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin - \( \Delta N_g \) is the change in moles of gas ### Step 4: Analyze the Sign of \( \Delta N_g \) Since we found that \( \Delta N_g = 1 \), which is greater than zero, we can conclude: - When \( \Delta N_g > 0 \), it implies that \( K_p > K_c \). ### Conclusion For the reaction \( NH_4SH_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons NH_3_{(s)} + H_2S_{(g)} \), since \( \Delta N_g > 0 \), we conclude that: \[ K_p > K_c \] Thus, the answer is that \( K_p \) is greater than \( K_c \) for this reaction. ---
