Water decomposes at 2300K2300K

H2O(g)→H2(g)+12O2(g){H}_{2}O\left(g\right) \to {H}_{2}\left(g\right) + \dfrac{1}{2}{O}_{2}\left(g\right)

The percent of water decomposing at 2300K2300K and 1 bar is _____ (Nearest integer). Equilibrium constant for the reaction is 2×10−32 \times {10}^{- 3} at 2300K2300K

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Decomposition of water gives:
H2O(g)⇌H2(g)+12O2(g){H}_{2}O\left(g\right) ⇌ {H}_{2}\left(g\right) + \dfrac{1}{2}{O}_{2}\left(g\right)

P0[1−α]P0αP0α2{P}_{0}\left[1 - \alpha\right]{P}_{0}\alpha\dfrac{{P}_{0}\alpha}{2} partial pr. at eq.

Thus, P0[1+α2]=1…(1){P}_{0}\left[1 + \dfrac{\alpha}{2}\right] = 1 \ldots \left(1\right)

Kp=(PH2)(PO2)1/2PH2O{K}_{p} = \dfrac{\left({P}_{{H}_{2}}\right){\left({P}_{{O}_{2}}\right)}^{1 / 2}}{{P}_{{H}_{2}O}}

(P0α)(P0α2)1/2P0[1−α]=2×10−3\dfrac{\left({P}_{0}\alpha\right){\left(\dfrac{{P}_{0}\alpha}{2}\right)}^{1 / 2}}{{P}_{0}\left[1 - \alpha\right]} = 2 \times {10}^{- 3}

since α\alpha is negligible w.r.t 1 thus, 1−α≈11 - \alpha \approx 1

⇒αα2=2×10−3⇒ \dfrac{\alpha\sqrt{\alpha}}{\sqrt{2}} = 2 \times {10}^{- 3}

⇒α3/2=23/2×10−3⇒ {\alpha}^{3 / 2} = {2}^{3 / 2} \times {10}^{- 3}

⇒α=23/2×2/3×10−3×2/3⇒ \alpha = {2}^{3 / 2 \times 2 / 3} \times {10}^{- 3 \times 2 / 3}

⇒α=2×10−2,⇒ \alpha = 2 \times {10}^{- 2}, % \alpha = 2 %
