I kinda want to know if I did it right, hopefully I did.
After being introduced into a container at an initial pressure of 3.42 atm A3B5 decomposes into A2B4 and AB. At equilibrium the partial pressure of AB is 0.28 atm.
What is Kp for this equilibrium?
So I'll do a table chart for it
A3B5 <--> A2B4 + AB
Initial 3.42 | 0 | 0
Change -x | +x | +x
Equi 3.42-x| x | .28+x
Kp= (x)(.28+x)/3.42-x
So...
Kp= (x)(.28+x)/3.42-x=
x2+1.28x-3.42=0
Using the quadratic formula, I would get x= 1.32, -2.6. The first value 1.32 would make sense...so Kp would be 1.32? Would that be correct or missing a part?
Thanks
