MCQ
For the reaction $AB(g)\, \rightleftharpoons \,A(g) + B(g),\,AB$  is  $33.3\%$ dissociated at a total equilibrium pressure of $P.$ Therefore, $P$ is correctly related to $K_p$ by which of the following option
  • A
    $P = K_p$
  • B
    $P = 3K_p$
  • C
    $P = 4K_p$
  • $P = 8K_p$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$P = 8K_p$
d
$33 \%$ dissociation means out of one mole of AB, $\frac{1}{3}$ mole is dissociated. So $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$ mole is

present.

$\mathrm{AB}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{g})$

Number of moles at $t_{0} 1 \quad 0 \quad 0$

Number of moles at $\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{eq.}} 1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{1}{3} \frac{1}{3}$

After dissociation, total number of moles $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

p is the total pressure.

The partial pressure of AB

$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{2 / 3}{4 / 3} \times \mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{2}$

The partial pressures of A and B are $\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{A}}=\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1 / 3}{4 / 3} \times \mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{4}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{p} \mathrm{A} \mathrm{p} \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{AB}}}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{p}}{4} \times \frac{\mathrm{p}}{4}}{\frac{\mathrm{p}}{2}}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{8}$

$\mathrm{p}=8 \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}$
