Question
Consider the reaction
The equation representing correct relationship between the degree of dissociation (x) of with its equilibrium constant Kp is ______ .
Assume to be very very small.
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& P_{y_2}=\frac{x / 2}{1+\frac{x}{2}} \times p \\
\therefore \quad K_p= & \frac{\left(\frac{x}{1+\frac{x}{2}} p\right)\left(\frac{x}{2\left(1+\frac{x}{2}\right)} p\right)^{1 / 2}}{\left(\frac{1-x}{1+\frac{x}{2}}\right) \times p} \\
\therefore \quad & K_p=\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right)\left(\frac{x}{2\left(1+\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)^{1 / 2} \times p^{1 / 2}
\end{aligned}$
to be very small
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore & K_p=\frac{x^{3 / 2}}{2^{(1 / 2)}} \times p^{1 / 2} \\
\therefore & x^{3 / 2}=\frac{K_p \times 2^{1 / 2}}{p^{1 / 2}} \\
& x^3=\frac{K_p^2 \times 2}{p} \\
& x=\left(\frac{K_p^2 \times 2}{p}\right)^{1 / 3}
\end{aligned}$
