Problem

Following two equilibria are established on mixing two gases

A_2

and C. (i)

3A_2(g) \rightleftharpoons A_6(g) \quad K_P = 1.6 \text{ atm}^{-2}

(ii)

A_2(g) + C(g) \rightleftharpoons A_2C(g)

A_2

and C are mixed in 2 : 1 molar ratio, calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of

A_2

, C,

A_2C

and

K_P

for the reaction (ii). Given that the total pressure to be 1.4 atm and partial pressure of

A_6

to be 0.2 atm at equilibrium.
