Chemical Equilibrium Problem

Post by Tanzim »

Please solve the following problem:
Consider the following equilibrium at 395 K:
NH4HS(s)⥫⥬NH3(g) + H2S(g) 📖
The partial pressure of each gas is 0.265 atm. Calculate KP and Kc for the reaction.

Kp = Kc * RT ^(Δn)

Δn = moles gaseous products - moles gaseous reactants

In your case you have only gaseous products.

Kp = pNH3* pH2S

Thanks a lot, as there are two gaseous products, so Δn will be 2, right??
