In the gaseous reaction 2A+B->A^2B G=1200cal at 227C. What total pressure would be necessary to produce 60% conversion of B into A2B when 2:1 mixture is used

Dear Student,

G=-RTln Kpor, Kp = e-GRT           = e-12001.987×500           =3.35 atm-2For the given reaction, Kp= nA2BnA2. nB(Pn)-2If initially there were 2 mol A and 1 mol B, then as 60% of b is converted, so at eqm. nB=(1-0.6)=0.4nA = 2-1.2=0.8nA2B = 0.6So, n = 1.8Hence, 2.25=(0.6)(0.8)2(0.4)(P1.8)-2 = 4.22P2or, P = 1.505 atm
