Find out the value of Kc for each of the following equilibria from the value of Kp:

(i) \( 2NOCl(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)+Cl_{2}(g);\)

\( K_{p}=1.8\times 10^{-2}\: \: at\: 500K\)

(ii) \( CaCO_{3}(s) ⇌ CaO(s)+CO_{2}(g);\)

\( K_{p}=167\: \: at\: 1073K\)

Solution :-

The relation between Kp and Kc is given as:

\( K_{p}=K_{c}(RT)^{\Delta n}\)

(i) Given,

R = 0.0831 bar mol–1K–1

\( \Delta n = 3-2 =1\)

T = 500 K

Kp=\( 1.8\times 10^{-2}\)

Now,

Kp = Kc (RT) ∆n

\( \Rightarrow 1.8\times 10^{-2}=K_{c}(0.0831\times 500)^{1}\\ \\ \)

\( \Rightarrow K_{c}=\dfrac{1.8\times 10^{-2}}{0.0831\times 500}\\ \\\)

\( =4.33\times 10^{-4}(approximately)\)

(ii) Here,

∆n =2 – 1 = 1

R = 0.0831 bar mol–1K–1

T = 1073 K

Kp= 167

Now,

Kp = K(RT) ∆n

\( \Rightarrow 167=K_{c}{(0.0831\times 1073)^{\Delta n}}\\ \\ \Rightarrow K_{c}=\dfrac{167}{0.0831\times 1073}\\ \\ =1.87(approximately)\)
