Equilibrium

Question
CBSEENCH11006440

Find out the value of Kc for each of the following equilibria from the value of Kp:
CaCO3 (s) rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon CaO(s) + CO2(g); Kp = 167 at 1073 K

Solution

CaCO subscript 3 left parenthesis straight s right parenthesis space rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon space CaO left parenthesis straight s right parenthesis space plus CO subscript 2 left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis
straight K subscript straight P space equals 167
increment straight n subscript straight g space equals 1
straight K subscript straight P space equals space straight K subscript straight c left parenthesis RT right parenthesis to the power of increment straight n end exponent
equals straight K subscript straight c left parenthesis RT right parenthesis

straight K subscript straight c space straight K subscript straight P over RT space equals fraction numerator 167 over denominator 0.0831 space straight x space 1073 end fraction space equals 1.88
