Answer:

The partial pressure of NOCl is 5.02 x 10^4 atm.

Explanation:

  • Partial pressures in a reaction equation may be used to calculate the equilibrium constant, Kp.
  • In this case;  2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇄ 2 NOCl(g)

[tex]Kp=\frac{(Partial pressureNOCl)^2}{(Partial pressureNO)^2(Partial pressureCl2)}[/tex]

[tex]Kp=\frac{P(NOCl)^2}{(P(NO)^2(P(Cl2)}[/tex]

[tex]1.40*10^8= \frac{P(NOCl)^2}{(3.0 atm)^2(2.0atm)}[/tex]

[tex]1.40*10^8= \frac{P(NOCl)^2}{18.0}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]P(NOCl)^2 = 25.2*10^8[/tex]

[tex]P(NOCl) =5.02*10^4[/tex]

Therefore;

The partial pressure of NOCl is 5.02 x 10^4 atm.
