Answer : The partial pressure of at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶
Explanation :
The partial pressure of =
The partial pressure of =
The partial pressure of =
The balanced equilibrium reaction is,
Initial pressure 1.0×10⁻² 2.0×10⁻⁴ 2.0×10⁻⁴
At eqm. (1.0×10⁻²-2p) (2.0×10⁻⁴+p) (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)
The expression of equilibrium constant for the reaction will be:
Now put all the values in this expression, we get :
The partial pressure of at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶
Therefore, the partial pressure of at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶
