Q. NH4CL(s) -> NH3(g) + HCl(g)
i) Total Partial Pressure was 4.4atm, calculate Kp.
What I did was:
Total M(NH4Cl) = 53.5
Total M(NH3) = 17
Total M (HCl) = 36.5
There NH3 makes up (17/53.5 x 100) = 31.8% of total pressure.
HCl makes up (36.5/53.5 x 100) = 68.2% of total pressure
Therefore their partial pressures:
P(NH3) = 0.318 x 4.4 = 1.4atm
P(HCl) = 0.682 x 4.4 = 3 atm
Therefore Kp = 1.4 x 3 = 4.2.
Is that the right way to go about the question?
Also, could someone show me to how approach this problem revolving around the Henrys Law? Textbooks seem to lack these styles of questions.
'Mole fraction of CO2 in aqueous solution is 3.6x10^-5, assuming carbon dioxide in solution is in equilibrium with atmosphere, what is the partial pressure of CO2 in solution? Kh = 1.63x10^3'.
