QUESTION:

Problem 19P

Guldberg and Waage proposed the definition of the equilibrium constant as a certain ratio of concentrations. What relationship allows us to use a particular ratio of partial pressures (for a gaseous reaction) to express an equilibrium constant? Explain.

ANSWER:

Solution 19P:

Here, we are going to show the relationship between the partial pressures (for a gaseous reaction) and  an equilibrium constant.

Step 1:

Let us consider a general gaseous reaction

where a, b, c, and d are the stoichiometric coefficients, the equilibrium constant  is
