The equilibrium constant, Kp, is 6.3x10-5 at 1500 K for the reaction represented
below. A chemist mixes 55% CH3Cl(g) and 45% HCl(g) by moles into a rigid
container so that the total pressure inside the container is 1.5 atm at 1500 K.
HCl(g) + CH3Cl(g) U CH4(g) + Cl2(g)
a. Find the initial partial pressures of each gas.
b. Find the equilibrium partial pressures of each gas at1500 K.
c. The temperature of the system was changed so that the equilibrium
constant, Kp, became 4.7 x 10-10. Find the new partial pressures of all
gaseous species at equilibrium.
