To calculate the equilibrium constant (Kp) at a given temperature, you need to know the balanced chemical equation for the reaction and the partial pressures of the gases involved.

The balanced equation for the decomposition of methanol gas (CH3OH) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen gas (H2) is:

2CH3OH(g) ⟶ 2CO2(g) + 4H2(g)

At equilibrium, the expression for Kp can be written as:

Kp = (P_CO2)^2 * (P_H2)^4 / (P_CH3OH)^2

Now, let's calculate the Kp value for this reaction using the given information.

First, we need to convert the concentrations given in molarity (M) to partial pressures. Since the pressure is not given, we can assume that the total pressure is 1 atm.

Given concentrations:
[C] = [CH3OH] = 0.15 M
[C]eq = [CO2] = ?
[H] = [H2] = 1.1 M
[H]eq = ?

To convert the concentrations to partial pressures, we need to use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT.

Let's assume the volume (V) is 1 L, the temperature (T) is 327 degrees Celsius (which needs to be converted to Kelvin), and we know R = 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K) is the ideal gas constant.

Converting temperature to Kelvin:
T = 327 + 273 = 600 K

Using the ideal gas law, we can calculate the number of moles (n) for each component:

n_CH3OH = [CH3OH] * V = 0.15 M * 1 L = 0.15 mol
n_CO2 = [CO2] * V = ? * 1 L = ? mol
n_H2 = [H2] * V = 1.1 M * 1 L = 1.1 mol

Now, we have the values of n for each component. Let's plug these into the Kp expression:

Kp = (P_CO2)^2 * (P_H2)^4 / (P_CH3OH)^2

Since we assume the total pressure is 1 atm, the partial pressure of each component is equal to the mole ratio:

P_CO2 = n_CO2 / n_total = ? mol / 2.25 mol
P_H2 = n_H2 / n_total = 1.1 mol / 2.25 mol
P_CH3OH = n_CH3OH / n_total = 0.15 mol / 2.25 mol

Now, we can substitute these values into the Kp expression:

Kp = (P_CO2)^2 * (P_H2)^4 / (P_CH3OH)^2
= (? mol / 2.25 mol)^2 * (1.1 mol / 2.25 mol)^4 / (0.15 mol / 2.25 mol)^2

After plugging in the values, calculate the Kp.

Once you fill in the missing value for [CO2] and use the given values for [CH3OH] and [H2], you can calculate the Kp for the reaction at 327 degrees Celsius.
