JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2005 - No. 7)

For the reaction 2NO2 (g) $$\leftrightharpoons$$ 2NO (g) + O2 (g), (Kc = 1.8 $$\times$$ 10-6 at 184oC) (R = 0.0831 kJ/(mol. K))
When Kp and Kc are compared at 184oC , it is found that :
Kp is greater than Kc
Kp is less than Kc
Kp = Kc
Whether Kp is greater than, less than or equal to Kc depends upon the total gas pressure

Explanation

For the reaction : -

$$2N{O_2}\left( g \right)\rightleftharpoons2NO\left( g \right) + {O_2}\left( g \right)$$

Given $${K_c} = 1.8 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,\,$$ at $$\,\,{184^ \circ }C$$

$$R=0.0831$$ $$\,\,kJ/mol.k$$

$${K_p} = 1.8 \times {10^{ - 6}} \times 0.0831 \times 457$$

$$ = 6.836 \times {10^{ - 6}}$$

$$\left[ {} \right.$$ as $$\,\,\,\,\,{184^ \circ }C = \left( {273 + 184} \right) = 457\,k,\,\,$$

$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left. {\Delta n = \left( {2 + 1, - 1} \right) = 1} \right]$$

Hence it is clear that $${K_p} > {K_c}$$
