Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given that Kc = 3.5 for the reaction A(g) ⇌ B(g) + C(g), calculate Kp at 298 K. Assume R = 0.0821 L atm/K·mol and Δn_gas = 1.
💡 Hint: Be sure to follow the Kp formula carefully.
For the reaction 2D(g) ⇌ E(g) + F(g) where Kc = 0.04 and Δn_gas = -1 at 298 K, find Kp.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to the negative exponent for Δn_gas.
