At $1000 \mathrm{~K}$, if the equilibrium constant $K_p$ for the reaction. $2 \mathrm{NOCl}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_2(g)$ is $4.157 \times 10^{-4}$ bar, the $K_C\left(\right.$ in $\mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1}$ ) is $\left(R=0.083 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{bar} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)$
  1. $4.16 \times 10^{-7}$
  2. $4.16 \times 10^{-4}$
  3. $50 \times 10^{-4}$
  4. $50 \times 10^{-6}$

Solution

$K_p=K_c(R T)^{\Delta n}$ Where, $\begin{aligned} & K_C \text { and } K_p=\text { Equilibrium constants } \\ & R=\text { Gas constant }\left(0.083 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{bar}^{-1} \times \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right) \\ & T=\text { Temperature }(1000 \mathrm{~K}) \end{aligned}$ $\Delta n=$ Number of gaseous moles of product -Moles of reactant $\begin{aligned} K_c & =4.157 \times 10^{-4} \\ \Delta n & =3-2=1 \\ K_C=\frac{K_b}{R T} & =\frac{4.157 \times 10^{-4}}{0.083 \times 1000} \\ & =5.0 \times 10^{-6} \end{aligned}$
