Equilibrium Constant Calculations
16. Chemical Equilibrium / Equilibrium Constant Calculations / Problem 6
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce sulfur trioxide (SO3): 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 SO3(g). A 5.5 L reaction vessel is charged with a mixture of SO2 and O2 at 300 °C. When the equilibrium was established, the mixture had the three gases at these partial pressures: PSO2 = 1.15 atm, PO2 = 2.35 atm, and PSO3 = 0.855 atm. Determine Kp.
