JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Morning Shift Chemistry - Chemical Equilibrium Question 56 English Explanation

[p = Total pressure at equilibrium = 1.9 atm]

Now, at equilibrium pV = (1 + 2x)RT

⇒1+2x=pVRT=1.9×250.082×300=1.93\Rightarrow 1 + 2x = {{pV} \over {RT}} = {{1.9 \times 25} \over {0.082 \times 300}} = 1.93

[V = 25 L, R = 0.082 L atm mol −- 1 K −- 1 T = 300 K]

⇒x=1.93−12=0.465\Rightarrow x = {{1.93 - 1} \over 2} = 0.465

⇒Kp=pA×pB2pAB2⇒(x1+2xp)×(2x1+2xp)2(1−x1+2xp)\Rightarrow {K_p} = {{{p_A} \times p_B^2} \over {{p_{A{B_2}}}}} \Rightarrow {{\left( {{x \over {1 + 2x}}p} \right) \times {{\left( {{{2x} \over {1 + 2x}}p} \right)}^2}} \over {\left( {{{1 - x} \over {1 + 2x}}p} \right)}}

=4x3×p3(1+2x)3×(1+2x)(1−x)×p=4x3×p2(1+2x)2×(1−x)= {{4{x^3} \times {p^3}} \over {{{(1 + 2x)}^3}}} \times {{(1 + 2x)} \over {(1 - x) \times p}} = {{4{x^3} \times {p^2}} \over {{{(1 + 2x)}^2} \times (1 - x)}}

=4×(0.465)3×(1.9)2(1+2×0.465)2×(1−0.465)=0.7285= {{4 \times {{(0.465)}^3} \times {{(1.9)}^2}} \over {{{(1 + 2 \times 0.465)}^2} \times (1 - 0.465)}} = 0.7285 atm

=72.85×10−2= 72.85 \times {10^{ - 2}} atm ≃73×10−2=x×10−2\simeq 73 \times {10^{ - 2}} = x \times {10^{ - 2}}

∴\therefore x=73x = 73
