Chemical Equlibrium_1

When heated, NH4COONH2 decomposes as below:

NH4COONH2(g)→2NH3 + CO2

At a certain temperature the equilibrium pressure of the system is 0.318 atm.Find the Kp for the reaction..

NH4COONH2 = 2NH3 + CO2
t=0 1 0 0
t=teq 1-a 2a a So P=1+2a=0.318(givn)

p(NH4COONH2)=(1-a)/(1+2a)
p(NH3) = 2a/(1+2a)
p(CO2)= a/(1+2a)

Kp = [CO2][NH3]2/[CH3COONH2]

which can be calculated

[] means partial pressure
