Find KpK_p for the reaction at this temperature (Given R=8.314 J K1mol1R = 8.314\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}):

A

1.493

B

2.494×1022.494 \times 10^{-2}

C

3.0×1063.0 \times 10^{-6}

D

2.494×1042.494 \times 10^{-4}

Step-by-Step Solution

For the given reaction: 2NOCl(g)2NO(g)+Cl2(g)2\text{NOCl}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g)

The relationship between the equilibrium constants KpK_p and KcK_c is given by the equation: Kp=Kc(RT)ΔnK_p = K_c(RT)^{\Delta n}

where Δn\Delta n is the difference between the sum of moles of gaseous products and the sum of moles of gaseous reactants. Δn=moles of gaseous productsmoles of gaseous reactants\Delta n = \text{moles of gaseous products} - \text{moles of gaseous reactants} Δn=(2+1)2=1\Delta n = (2 + 1) - 2 = 1

Given data: Kc=3.0×106K_c = 3.0 \times 10^{-6} R=8.314 J K1mol1R = 8.314\text{ J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} T=1000 KT = 1000\text{ K}

Substitute these values into the relationship (as directed by the explicitly given value of RR): Kp=(3.0×106)×(8.314×1000)1K_p = (3.0 \times 10^{-6}) \times (8.314 \times 1000)^1 Kp=3.0×106×8314K_p = 3.0 \times 10^{-6} \times 8314 Kp=24942×106K_p = 24942 \times 10^{-6} Kp=2.4942×102K_p = 2.4942 \times 10^{-2}

Thus, the value of KpK_p is 2.494×1022.494 \times 10^{-2}.
