MCQ
For the reaction $C_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}  \rightleftharpoons  2CO_{(g)}$ , the partial pressure of $CO_2$ and $CO$ at equilibrium are $4$ and $8\, atm$ respectively. $K_p$ for the reaction is
  • $16$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $0.5$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$16$
a
For the reaction, $\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{C} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})$, the partial pressure of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{CO}$ are 2.0 and 4.0

atm, respectively, at equilibrium.

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CO}}^{2}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CO} 2}}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{(8.0)^{2}}{4.0}$

$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=16.0$

Thus, the $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}$ of the reaction is $16.0 .$

So, the correct option is $\mathrm{A}$
