We are being asked to calculate Kp for the reaction:
N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
When dealing with equilibrium:
• Kc → equilibrium units are in molarity
• Kp → equilibrium units in terms of pressure
Kp and Kc are related to one another by the following equation below:
R = gas constant = 0.08206 (L∙atm)/(mol∙K)
T = temperature, K
Δn = moles of gas products – moles of gas reactants
Calculate Kp:
Given: Kc = 4.10 x 10–31
T = 298 K
Reaction:
N2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
reactants = 2 moles gas
