<u>Answer:</u> The value of for the given chemical reaction is 0.1415
<u>Explanation:</u>
Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure is defined as the ratio of partial pressures of the products and the reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
For a general chemical reaction:
The expression for is written as:
For the given chemical equation:
The expression for for the following equation is:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The value of for the given chemical reaction is 0.1415
