Q.

Consider the general reaction given below at 400 K

             xA(g)yB(g)

The values of Kp and Kc are studied under the same condition of temperature but variation in x and y.

(i) Kp=85.87 and Kc=2.586 (appropriate units)
(ii) Kp=0.862 and Kc=28.62 (appropriate units)

The values of x and y in (i) and (ii) respectively are:                      [2026]

1 (i) 1, 2  (ii) 2, 1  
2 (i) 4, 1  (ii) 4, 1  
3 (i) 3, 1  (ii) 3, 1  
4 (i) 1, 3  (ii) 2, 1  

Ans.

(1)

For reaction (i) : KP>KC

Δng>0

y-x>0

85.87=2.586(0.0821×400)y-x

Solving y-x=1

For reaction (ii) : KP<KC

y-x<0
