1.	A 20 litre container at 400 K contains CO_(2)(g) at pressure 0.4 atm and an excess of SrO (neglect the volume of slid SrO). The volume of the container is now decreased by moving the movable pistonfitted in the container . The maximum volume of the container, when pressure of CO_(2) attains its maximum value, will be [Given that : SrCO_(3)(s) hArr SrO(s) +CO_(2)(g), Kp=1.6 atm]
Answer» 10 litre 4 litres 2 litre 5 litre Solution :`SrCO_(3)hArrSrO(s)+CO_(2)(g)(s) ` `K_(p)= P_(CO_(2))` maximum pressure of `CO_(2)= 1.6 ATM` `P_(1)V_(1)=P_(2)V_(2)` `0.4 xx 20 = 1.6 V_(2)IMPLIES V_(2)= 5L`.
