In the relation, K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n the value of Δ n is:
Options
- ANumber of moles of gaseous reactants - number of moles of gaseous products in a balanced equation
- BNumber of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants in a balanced equation
- CNumber of moles of gaseous products × number of moles of gaseous reactants in a balanced equation
- DNumber of moles of gaseous reactants + number of moles of gaseous products in a balanced equation
Correct answer
B. Number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants in a balanced equation
Step-by-step solution
In the relation, K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n , the term ∆ n refers to the difference in the total number of moles of gaseous products and the total number of moles of gaseous reactants. Hence, it can have either positive value or negative value. It can be zero or also an integer or a fraction. Δ n g = n g ( p ) - n g ( r )
