Given the general equation: 3x +4y <-> 2x, kc= 4.5 E-5
a. What is the kp?
b. What does Kc equal for 2xy <-> 3x + 4y?
c. What does Kc equal for 6xy <-> 9x +12y?
To determine the values of Kp and Kc for chemical equations, including the given equation 3x + 4y ⇌ 2x, kc = 4.5 E-5, we need to understand the relationship between Kp and Kc.
Kp and Kc are related by the equation Kp = Kc(RT)^(Δn).
Here, R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)), T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Δn is the difference in the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants.
a. To find Kp, we need to know the value of Δn in the given equation. From the equation 3x + 4y ⇌ 2x, we can see that the difference in moles of gas products (2x) and reactants (3x + 4y) is Δn = (2x) - (3x + 4y) = -x - 4y. But since we don't have specific values for x and y, we can't determine the exact value of Δn. Thus, we can't determine Kp without knowing the values of x and y.
b. To find Kc for the equation 2xy ⇌ 3x + 4y, we need to write the expression for Kc using the concentrations of the species involved. However, without specific concentration values for x and y, we are unable to calculate the exact value of Kc. Thus, we cannot determine the value of Kc without knowing the specific concentrations of x and y.
c. Similarly, without knowing the specific concentrations of x and y in the equation 6xy ⇌ 9x + 12y, we cannot calculate the exact value of Kc. Thus, we cannot determine the value of Kc for this equation without specific concentration values for x and y.
In conclusion, without knowing the specific concentration values for x and y, we cannot determine the exact values of Kp and Kc for the given equations.
