One mole each of He and A(g)A(g) are taken in a 1010 L closed flask and heated to 400400 K to establish the following equilibrium. A(g)⇌B(g)A(g) \rightleftharpoons B(g). KcK_c for this reaction at 400400 K is 4.04.0. The partial pressures (in atm) of He and B(g)B(g) are respectively (at equilibrium) (Assume He, A(g)A(g) and B(g)B(g) behave as ideal gases) (Given: R=0.082R = 0.082 L atm K−1^{-1} mol−1^{-1})

Step-by-step solution

The given reaction is A(g)⇌B(g)A(g) \rightleftharpoons B(g).

Let the initial moles of AA be 11 and at equilibrium, let xx moles of AA dissociate.

Moles at equilibrium:
nA=1−xn_A = 1 - x
nB=xn_B = x

Since Δng=0\Delta n_g = 0, the equilibrium constant KcK_c can be written in terms of moles:
Kc=nBnA=x1−x=4.0K_c = \dfrac{n_B}{n_A} = \dfrac{x}{1 - x} = 4.0

x=4−4x⇒5x=4⇒x=0.8x = 4 - 4x \Rightarrow 5x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 0.8

At equilibrium, the moles of the gases are:
nHe=1n_{He} = 1
nB=0.8n_B = 0.8

Using the ideal gas equation P=nRTVP = \dfrac{nRT}{V}, the partial pressures are calculated as follows:

Partial pressure of He:
PHe=1×0.082×40010=3.28P_{He} = \dfrac{1 \times 0.082 \times 400}{10} = 3.28 atm

Partial pressure of B(g)B(g):
PB=0.8×0.082×40010=2.624P_B = \dfrac{0.8 \times 0.082 \times 400}{10} = 2.624 atm

Answer: 3.28,2.6243.28, 2.624
