$K_P$ for the following reaction is 3.0 at $1000 \mathrm{~K}$. $\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})$ What will be the value of $\mathrm{K}_C$ for the reaction at the same temperature? (Given: $\mathrm{R}=0.083 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{bar} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ )
  1. 0.36
  2. $3.6 \times 10^{-2}$
  3. $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$
  4. 3.6

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) \\ & \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}} \cdot(\mathrm{RT})^{\Delta n_{\mathrm{g}}} \\ & \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=3.0 . \mathrm{R}=0.083 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{bar} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \\ & \begin{aligned} \Delta n_g & =2-1=1 \\ \therefore \quad 3.0 & =\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}(0.083 \times 1000)^1 \\ & \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{3}{83}=3.6 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
