For the given reaction: 2NOCl(g)⇌2NO(g)+Cl2(g)
The relationship between the equilibrium constants Kp and Kc is given by the equation:
Kp=Kc(RT)Δn
where Δn is the difference between the sum of moles of gaseous products and the sum of moles of gaseous reactants.
Δn=moles of gaseous products−moles of gaseous reactants
Δn=(2+1)−2=1
Given data:
Kc=3.0×10−6
R=8.314 J K−1mol−1
T=1000 K
Substitute these values into the relationship (as directed by the explicitly given value of R):
Kp=(3.0×10−6)×(8.314×1000)1
Kp=3.0×10−6×8314
Kp=24942×10−6
Kp=2.4942×10−2
Thus, the value of Kp is 2.494×10−2.
