Consider a gerneral reaction in which all reactants and products are ideal gases.
xA+yBlC+mD
The equilibrium costant Kc is
Kc=[C]l[D][A]x[B]y
Kp=plC×pmDpxA×pyB
The ideal gas equation is
PV=nRTorP=nVRT
Since, Active mass=molar concentration =mv
P= Active mass × RT
Based on the above expressio, the partial pressure of the reacants and products can be expressred as,
pxA=[A]x.[RT]x,pyB=[B]y.[RT]y
plC=[C]l.[RT]l,PmD=[D]m.[RT]m
On substiutiono in equation (2),
Kp=[C]l[RT]l[D]m[RT]m[A]x[RT]x[B]y[RT]y
Kp=[C]l[D]m[A]x[B]y×RT(l+m)(x+y)
By comparing equation (1) and (4) ,we get
Kp=Kc(RT)Δng
where Δng is the difference between the sum of number of moles of products and the sum of number of moles of reactants in the gas phase.
(i) If Δng=0,Kp=Kc(RT)0
Kp=Kc
Example : H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)
(ii) when Δng=+ve
Kp=Kc(RT)+veKp=Kc
Example 2NH3(g)N2(g)+3H2(g)
(iii) When Δng=ve
Kp=Kc(RT)ve
Kp<Kc
Example : 2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)
1. Measurement of heat change at constant pressure can be done in a coffee cup calorimeter.
2 . We know that ΔH=qp (at constant P) and therefore , heat absorbed or evoloved qr constant pressure is also called tha heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction ΔHr
3. In an exothermic reaction, heat is evolved, and system loses heat to the surrounding. Therefore qp will be negative and ΔHr will also be negative
4. Similarly in an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed qp is postive and ΔHr will also be positive.
