Concentration and pressure problem. Need help

In summary, Ammonium carbamate (NH2COONH4) is a compound found in the blood and urine of mammals. At a temperature of 442 K, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is 0.043 for the reaction NH2COONH4(s) <=> 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g). If 10.2 g of ammonium carbamate is introduced into a 0.500 L container, the total pressure inside the container at equilibrium is 2.40E1 (2.40 * 101).

Ammonium carbamate (NH2COONH4) is found in the blood and urine of mammals. At a temperature of 442 K, Kc = 0.043 for the following equilibrium:
NH2COONH4(s) <=> 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g).
If 10.2 g of ammonium carbamate is introduced into a 0.500 L container, what is the total pressure inside the container at equilibrium?

Correct answer 2.40E1 (2.40 * 101)

Concentration of NH2COONH4: 0.2613

If someone would help me, I would very much appreciate it.

Concentration problem. Need help!

Ammonium carbamate (NH2COONH4) is introduced into a 0,4 L container, at a temperature of 37 ºC, Kc = 4,1 for the following equilibrium:
NH2COONH4(s) <=> 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g).
What is total of ammonium carbamate is introduced into a 0.400 L container at equilibrium?
 

1. What is the relationship between concentration and pressure?

The relationship between concentration and pressure is known as the Henry's Law. According to this law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

2. How does changing the pressure affect the concentration of a solution?

Changing the pressure can affect the concentration of a solution in two ways. First, increasing the pressure can increase the solubility of gases in a liquid, leading to a higher concentration. Second, a change in pressure can also affect the volume of a gas, which can indirectly affect the concentration of a solution.

3. How can I calculate the concentration of a gas in a solution at a given pressure?

To calculate the concentration of a gas in a solution at a given pressure, you can use the Henry's Law equation: C = k*P, where C is the concentration of the gas, k is the Henry's Law constant, and P is the partial pressure of the gas. The value of k varies depending on the gas and the solvent used.

4. What is the difference between concentration and pressure in terms of units?

Concentration is typically measured in units of moles per liter (mol/L), while pressure is measured in units of atmospheres (atm) or kilopascals (kPa). However, in some cases, concentration can also be expressed in units of mass per volume (such as g/L) or percentage (%).

5. How does temperature affect the concentration and pressure of a solution?

Temperature can affect the concentration and pressure of a solution in several ways. For gases, an increase in temperature can decrease the solubility in a liquid, leading to a decrease in concentration. However, for liquids, an increase in temperature can increase the vapor pressure, which can also affect the concentration. Additionally, temperature can also affect the volume of a gas, indirectly affecting the pressure of the solution.
