Solved: Calculating K from Initial and Equilibrium

Chapter , Problem 2PE

(choose chapter or problem)

The gaseous compound BrCl decomposes at high temperature in a sealed container:

\(2 B r C I(g) \leftrightarrow B r_{2}(g)+C I_{2}(g)\). Initially, the vessel is charged at 500 K with \(\operatorname{BrCI}(g)\) at a partial pressure of 0.500 atm. At equilibrium, the BrCl(g) partial pressure is 0.040 atm. Calculate the value of \(K_{P}\) at 500 K.
