Chemistry

When heated, ammonium carbonate decomposes as follows:NH4CO2NH2(s) ⇌ 2NH3(g) + CO2(g). At a certain temperature theequilibrium constant is KP = 2.9 x 10-3.Calculate the total equilibrium pressure at this temperature.

ans)      as NH4 CO2NH2 is solid ,Kp includes the active mass of NH4CO2NH2.

                       Kp =   P2NH3 *    P CO2

            2.9 * 10-3      =      ( 2X)2 * X

                  X3 = 2.9 * 10-3   /4   = 0.75 * 10-3

      BY SOLVING     x =      0.025 atm

                 PTOTAL   EQM     = 2 PNH3 + P CO2

                                                      = 2* 0.025 + 0.025

                                =     0.075 atm
