Answer to Question #318554 in General Chemistry for Gaile

Question

The equilibrium constant kp for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide is 5.6x10^4 at 350 celsius. if the equilibrium partial pressures of SO2 and SO3 are 0.64 atm and 0.58 atm, respectively,, what is the partial pressure of O2 in the system?

Answer 1

If condition of the task is true and the equilibrium constant is 5.6×10⁴, then answer is 1.4666×10^-5 atm

If this is a mistake and the equilibrium constant is 5.6×10^-4 then answer is 1466.6 atm.
