Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;1 mole amp;X2Y(g)⇌X2( g)+12Y2( g)amp; 1-x mole x mole x2 mole amp;∴PX2Y=1−x1+x2×Pamp;PX2=x1+x2×Pamp;PY2=x/21+x2×P\begin{aligned}& 1 \text { mole } \\& \mathrm{X}_2 \mathrm{Y}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{X}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Y}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \\& \text { 1-x mole } \quad \mathrm{x} \text { mole } \quad \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2} \text { mole } \\& \therefore \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{X}_2 \mathrm{Y}}=\frac{1-\mathrm{x}}{1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}} \times \mathrm{P} \\& \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{X}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}} \times \mathrm{P} \\& \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{Y}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{x} / 2}{1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}} \times \mathrm{P}\end{aligned}

∴Kp=(x1+x2P)(x2(1+x2)P)12/(1−x1+x2)×P\therefore \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}} \mathrm{P}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)} \mathrm{P}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} /\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{x}}{1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}}\right) \times \mathrm{P}

∴Kp=(x1−x)(x2(1+x2))12×p12\therefore \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{1-\mathrm{x}}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}\right)}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \times \mathrm{p}^{\frac{1}{2}}

∵x\because \mathrm{x} to be very very small

∴Kp=x3/213×P12\therefore \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{x}^{3 / 2}}{\frac{1}{3}} \times \mathrm{P}^{\frac{1}{2}}

(2) 12{ }^{\frac{1}{2}}

∴x32=Kp×212P12\therefore \mathrm{x}^{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}} \times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\mathrm{P}^{\frac{1}{2}}}

∴x3=Kp2×2P\therefore \mathrm{x}^3=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 \times 2}{\mathrm{P}}

x=(Kp2×2P)13\mathrm{x}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}^2 \times 2}{\mathrm{P}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}
