The equilibrium constant KP for the reaction is 5.60 × 104
Chapter 14, Problem 39P(choose chapter or problem)
The equilibrium constant \(K_{P}\) for the reaction
\(2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\ \leftrightharpoons\ 2 \mathrm{SO}_{3}(g)\)
is \(5.60 \times 10^{4}\) at \(350^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The initial pressures of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) in a mixture are 0.350 atm and 0.762 atm, respectively, at \(350^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). When the mixture equilibrates, is the total pressure less than or greater than the sum of the initial pressures (1.112 atm)?
