Consider the equilibrium `Ni(s)+4CO(g)hArrNi(CO)_(4)(g), K_(p)=0.125atm^(-3)` If equal number of moles of `CO "and" Ni(CO)_(4)` (ideal gases) are mixed in a small container fitted with a piston, find the maximum total pressure (in atm) to which this mixture must be brough in order to just precipitate out metallic `Ni`?

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
`Ni(s)+4CO(g)hArrNi(CO)_(4)(g)`
`P P`
For backward reaction
`Q_(P)geK_(P)`
`(P)/(P^(4))geK_(P)`
`therefore (1)/(P^(3))ge0.125atm^(-3)`
`P^(3)le8atm^(3)`
`Ple2atm`
`P_(t otal)=2P=4atm`.
