I wonder how to calculate the Kp if the question gives us the total pressure and no of mol of reactant. Without giving the mol of product how can i calculate the Kp. Can anybody help me what to do to calculate the Kp. Here is the question im unable to answer. Mol of CO and Cl are given 1.2 mol and the total pressure of gaseous mixture is 32.0 atm. The evacuated flask is 1.75 L So how to calculate the Kp
See the similar problem by han below and use the same format to solve your problem. Post your work if you get stuck.
To calculate the equilibrium constant, Kp, you need to have the molar concentrations or partial pressures of the reactants and products at equilibrium. However, in the given question, it seems that you only have the total pressure and the number of moles of the reactants. Without the information on the mol of the product or the concentration of the reactants, it is not possible to directly calculate Kp.
Typically, to calculate Kp, you would need the balanced chemical equation for the reaction and the concentrations/pressures of all the species involved at equilibrium. However, in this case, you do not have enough information to calculate Kp accurately.
If you have the balanced chemical equation and some additional information, such as initial concentrations or pressures, you may be able to use the ideal gas law or other techniques to determine the equilibrium concentrations or pressures. With that information, you can then calculate Kp using the equilibrium values.
It's important to note that without the necessary information, it may not be possible to calculate Kp for the given reaction accurately.
