The values of K_(p) and K_(p_(2)) for the reaction X hArr Y+Z ...(1) and A hArr 2B...(2) Are in the ratio 9: 1 . It the degree of dissociationof X and A be equal , calculate the ratio of the total prssures of (1) and (2) at equilibrium.

Answer»

Solution :Suppose total pressure at EQUILIBRIUM for reactions (1) and (2) are `P_(1)and P_(2)` respectively . Then
` {:(,X,hArr,Y,+,Z),("Intial.",1"MOLE",,0,,0),("At EQM.",1-alpha,,alpha,alpha,"Total"1+alpha):}`
` P_(X) = (1-alpha)/(1+alpha) P_(1), p_(Y) = alpha/(1+alpha) p_(1),p_(Z) = alpha/(1+alpha)P_(1)`
` K_(p_(1)) = ((apha)/(1+alpha) P_(1))^(2)/((1-alpha)/(1+alpha)P_(1))=(alpha^(2)P_(1))/(1- alpha^(2) )CONG alpha^(2) P_(1) `
`{:(,A,hArr,2B,),("Intial",1"mole",,0,),("At eqm.",1-alpha,,2 alpha,"Total"=1=alpha):}`
` p_(A) = (1-alpha)/(1 +alpha)p^(2),p^(B) = (2alpha)/(1 + alpha) P^(2)`
` K_(p_(2)) = ((2alpha)/(1+alpha)P_(2))^(2)/((1-alpha)/(1+alpha)P^(2))= (4 alpha^(2))/(1-alpha^(2)) P_(2) = 4 alpha ^(2) P_(2) `
` (K_(p_(1)))/(K_(p_(2)))= (alpha^(2) P_(1))/(4alpha^(2)P_(2)) = (P_(1))/(4 P_(2))= 9/1 ("Given") or (P_(1))/(P_(2))= 36 /1 = 36 :1 `
