The Lewis structure of P₄ is shown in 3-D form. The two bottom corner P atoms are facing right in front of us, one P atom behind the two, and one P above it. Each line represents 2 electrons. When you add the lone electrons, you get a total of 20 valence electrons.
Formal charge of each P: 5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0
The correct equation
for the overall reaction can simply be obtained by adding the two separate
equations together. Now when you add the two equations together, the overall K can
be calculated by multiplying the individual K values. Therefore:<span>
K(overall) = K1 * K2 </span>
K(overall) = (1.6 x
10^-10) * (1.5 x 10^7)
<span>K(overall) = 2.4 x
10^-3</span>
Equilibrium shifts to produce more reactant.
