The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction: \[ Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2Cl(g) \] Given that at equilibrium, there are equal numbers of \( Cl_2 \) molecules and \( Cl \) atoms, we can denote the number of moles of \( Cl_2 \) as \( n \) and the number of moles of \( Cl \) as \( 2n \) (since each \( Cl_2 \) produces 2 \( Cl \) atoms). ### Step 1: Define the equilibrium concentrations Let the number of moles of \( Cl_2 \) at equilibrium be \( n \) and the number of moles of \( Cl \) be \( 2n \). ### Step 2: Write the expression for \( K_p \) The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction can be expressed as: \[ K_p = \frac{(P_{Cl})^2}{P_{Cl_2}} \] Where \( P_{Cl} \) and \( P_{Cl_2} \) are the partial pressures of \( Cl \) and \( Cl_2 \) respectively. ### Step 3: Calculate the partial pressures Since the total pressure \( P \) is given as 1 atm, we can express the partial pressures in terms of \( n \): - The partial pressure of \( Cl_2 \) is given by: \[ P_{Cl_2} = \frac{nRT}{V} \] - The partial pressure of \( Cl \) is given by: \[ P_{Cl} = \frac{2nRT}{V} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the partial pressures into the \( K_p \) expression Substituting the expressions for partial pressures into the \( K_p \) expression gives: \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{2nRT}{V}\right)^2}{\frac{nRT}{V}} = \frac{4n^2(RT)^2/V^2}{nRT/V} = \frac{4n(RT)}{V} \] ### Step 5: Relate \( n \) to total pressure Since we have equal numbers of \( Cl_2 \) and \( Cl \) at equilibrium, we can express \( n \) in terms of the total pressure. The total number of moles at equilibrium is \( n + 2n = 3n \). Therefore, we have: \[ P = \frac{3nRT}{V} \] Given that \( P = 1 \) atm, we can solve for \( n \): \[ n = \frac{PV}{3RT} \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( n \) back into the \( K_p \) expression Substituting \( n \) into the \( K_p \) expression gives: \[ K_p = \frac{4 \cdot \frac{PV}{3RT} \cdot RT}{V} = \frac{4P}{3} \] ### Step 7: Substitute the given pressure Substituting \( P = 1 \) atm into the equation: \[ K_p = \frac{4 \cdot 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 8: Express \( K_p \) in the required form The problem states that \( K_p = x \times 10^{-1} \). Therefore, we can express \( \frac{4}{3} \) as: \[ K_p = \frac{4}{3} = 1.33 \approx 1.3 \times 10^{0} \] Thus, \( x = 4 \) when rounded to the nearest integer. ### Final Answer The value of \( x \) is **4**. ---
