The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction \[ 2 \text{HCl}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \] given that \( K_c = 4 \times 10^{-34} \) at \( 25^\circ C \), we can use the relationship between \( K_p \) and \( K_c \): \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta n_g} \] ### Step 1: Determine \( \Delta n_g \) First, we need to calculate \( \Delta n_g \), which is the change in the number of moles of gas during the reaction. This is given by the formula: \[ \Delta n_g = n_p - n_r \] where \( n_p \) is the number of moles of gaseous products and \( n_r \) is the number of moles of gaseous reactants. - From the balanced equation: - Products: \( \text{H}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \) → 2 moles - Reactants: \( 2 \text{HCl}(g) \) → 2 moles Calculating \( \Delta n_g \): \[ \Delta n_g = (1 + 1) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Substitute values into the equation Now that we have \( \Delta n_g = 0 \), we can substitute the values into the equation for \( K_p \): \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^{\Delta n_g} \] Since \( \Delta n_g = 0 \): \[ K_p = K_c (RT)^0 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation We know that any number raised to the power of 0 is 1: \[ (RT)^0 = 1 \] Thus, we have: \[ K_p = K_c \cdot 1 = K_c \] ### Step 4: Final calculation Now we can substitute the value of \( K_c \): \[ K_p = 4 \times 10^{-34} \] ### Conclusion Therefore, the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction is: \[ \boxed{4 \times 10^{-34}} \]
