In summary, the given reaction is A+B--> 2C, with initial pressures of Pa=3 atm and Pb=2 atm. The reaction reaches equilibrium when 70% of B has reacted. To find the equilibrium pressures of Pa, Pb, and Pc, we can use the change in pressures of -x and +2x for A and C, respectively. The equilibrium constant can be calculated using the equilibrium pressures.

Reacton between the substances is A+B--> 2C where Pa=3 atm,Pb=2 atm.The reaction moves to the right until 70 percent of B has reacted and we have the equilibrum.FFind Pa,Pb,Pc and the constant of equilibrum

Pa Pb Pc

So in the beginning 3 2 0

The change - x -x +2x How do I find Pa ,Pb and Pc here?

You are told that 70% of B has reacted...
 

Related to How to Calculate Equilibrium Pressures in a Chemical Reaction?

1. What is chemical equilibrium?

Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the forward and reverse reactions of a chemical reaction occur at equal rates, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.

2. How is equilibrium achieved in a chemical reaction?

Equilibrium is achieved when the concentrations of reactants and products reach a constant value and the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates. This can be achieved by changing the temperature, pressure, or concentration of reactants and products.

3. What is the difference between dynamic and static equilibrium?

Dynamic equilibrium refers to a state in which the concentrations of reactants and products are constantly changing, but the overall concentrations remain constant. Static equilibrium, on the other hand, refers to a state in which there is no movement or change in concentration.

4. How does Le Chatelier's principle apply to equilibrium?

Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system in equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift in a direction that minimizes the effect of the disturbance. This applies to equilibrium reactions by predicting the direction in which the reaction will shift when the temperature, pressure, or concentration of reactants and products is changed.

5. What factors affect the position of equilibrium in a chemical reaction?

The position of equilibrium is affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and concentration of reactants and products. Changes in any of these factors can shift the equilibrium in a certain direction, leading to changes in the concentrations of reactants and products.
