An amount of solid is placed in a flask already containing ammonia gas at a certain temperature and 0.50 atm. Pressure. Ammonium hydrogen sulphide decomposes to yield and gases in the flask. When the decomposition reaction reaches equilibrium, the total pressure in the flask rises to 0.84 atm. The equilibrium constant for decomposition at this temperature is :
- A0.30
- B0.11
- C0.17
- D0.18
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Write the equilibrium reaction
For this heterogeneous equilibrium, the solid does not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.
So,
- Initial condition
Initially, the flask already contains ammonia gas at pressure:
Initially, no is present:
- Let decomposition produce atm each of and
From the reaction stoichiometry, decomposition of solid adds equal partial pressures of and .
Thus at equilibrium:
- Use total equilibrium pressure
Given total pressure at equilibrium is:
Therefore,
So,
- Calculate
- Match with option
The correct option is:
So, Option B is correct.
