A definite amount of solid `NH_(4)HS` is placed in a flask already containing ammonia gas at a certain temperature and 0.1 atm pressure. `NH_(4)HS` decompses to give ` NH_(3)` and `H_(2)S` and at equilibrium total pressure in flask is 1.1 atm. If the equilibrium constant `K_(P)` for the reaction `NH_(4)HS(s) iff NH_(3)(g)+H_(2)S(g)` is represented as `zxx10^(-1)` then find the value of z.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the decomposition of solid ammonium hydrosulfide (NH₄HS) into ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) at equilibrium. We are given the initial pressure of ammonia and the total pressure at equilibrium, and we need to find the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) in the form \( z \times 10^{-1} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the decomposition reaction:** \[ \text{NH}_4\text{HS}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3(g) + \text{H}_2\text{S}(g) \] 2. **Identify initial conditions:** - Initial pressure of NH₃ = 0.1 atm - Initial pressure of H₂S = 0 atm (since it is produced from the decomposition) - Since NH₄HS is a solid, it does not contribute to the pressure. 3. **Define changes at equilibrium:** - Let \( x \) be the change in pressure due to the decomposition of NH₄HS. - At equilibrium: - Pressure of NH₃ = \( 0.1 + x \) - Pressure of H₂S = \( x \) 4. **Total pressure at equilibrium:** - Given total pressure = 1.1 atm \[ (0.1 + x) + x = 1.1 \] \[ 0.1 + 2x = 1.1 \] \[ 2x = 1.1 - 0.1 = 1.0 \] \[ x = 0.5 \] 5. **Calculate equilibrium pressures:** - Pressure of NH₃ at equilibrium = \( 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.6 \) atm - Pressure of H₂S at equilibrium = \( 0.5 \) atm 6. **Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K_p \):** \[ K_p = \frac{P_{\text{NH}_3} \cdot P_{\text{H}_2\text{S}}}{1} = P_{\text{NH}_3} \cdot P_{\text{H}_2\text{S}} \] \[ K_p = (0.6)(0.5) = 0.3 \] 7. **Express \( K_p \) in the required form:** \[ K_p = 3 \times 10^{-1} \] Here, \( z = 3 \). ### Final Answer: The value of \( z \) is **3**.
