Partial Pressure
« on: March 03, 2013, 10:06:05 PM »
For the following reaction, Kp = 0.781 at a given temperature.

C(s) + 2 H2(g) <=> CH4(g)

At equilibrium, PCH4 = 3.82. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of H2?


0.781 = [3.82] / [C][H2]^2

Where do I go from here?


I'd appreciate any help.

In a Kp expression, only partial pressures are included so carbon(solid) should not show up in the equilibrium expression.

Thank you. I forgot about solids. So then the correct equation would be 0.781 = [3.82] / [H2]^2, which is equal to 2.21?
