A reaction vessel is charged with 0.50 atm of A and 0.030 atm of B. Once the reaction reaches equilibrium, what is the equilibrium partial pressure of B? Kp for this reaction is 67.2A (g) ⇌ 2 B (g)

1.000 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reversible reaction

A(g) ⇌ 2 B(g)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient

Q = [B]²/[A]

Q = 0.030²/0.50

Q = 0.0018

since Q < Kp, the reaction will proceed to the right

Step 3: Make an ICE chart

       A(g) ⇌ 2 B(g)

I      0.50      0.030

C       -x          +2x

E    0.50-x    0.030+2x

Step 4: Find the value of "x"

We will use the definition of the pressure equilibrium constant.

Kp = 67.2 = [B]²/[A] = (0.030+2x)²/0.50-x

33.6 - 67.2x = 0.0009 + 0.12x + 4x²

4x² + 67.32x -33.5991 = 0

We solve this quadratic equation and we get x=0.485112  and x=−17.3151 (neglected).

Step 5: Find the partial pressure of B at equilibrium

pB = 0.030+2x = 0.030+2(0.485112) = 1.000 atm

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
