How do you solve this:

Question

Consider the decomposition of ammonium chloride at a cerain temperature

NH4Cl(s) <- NH3(g) + HCl(g)
->

Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp if the total pressure is 2.2 atm at that temperature.

Answer 1

I think I would do the following:
NH4Cl(s) ==> NH3(g) + HCl(g)

Ptotal = PNH3 + PHCl
2.2 atm = PNH3 + PHCl
From the equation, PNH3 = PHCl; therefore,
2.2 = 2PNH3 and you can go from there.
Then substitute partial pressures into
Kp = PNH3*PHCl to find Kp.

Answer 2

thank you. so what did you get as a final answer for this problem then? and what did u do after doing 2.2=2PHN3

and after subsituting the partial pressure??

Thanks

Answer 3

The remainder of the problem is up to you. We try to HELP you do the work but we don't do it. You can substitute and calculate Kp; it's just multiplying two numbers together.

Answer 4

1.2

Answer 5

25.00 atm kp
