Given below are certain reactions. Identify the reaction for which \(K_p \neq K_c:\)
- A \(H _2 O ( g )+ CO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons H _2(g)+ CO _2(g)\)
- B \(N _2(g)+3 H _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NH _3(g)\)
- C \(H _2(g)+ I _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 HI ( g )\)
- D \(N_2(g)+ O _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO ( g )\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(N _2(g)+3 H _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NH _3(g)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) The relation between \(K_p\) and \(K_c\) is given by \(K_p=K_c(R T)^{\Delta n_g}\), where \(\Delta n_g\) is the difference between the number of moles of gaseous products and gaseous reactants.
For \(K_p \neq K_c, \Delta n_g\) must be non-zero.
For \(H _2 O ( g )+ CO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons H _2(g)+ CO _2(g), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)
For \(N _2(g)+3 H _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NH _3(g), \Delta n_g=2-4=-2 \Rightarrow K_p \neq K_c\)
For \(H _2(g)+ I _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 HI ( g ), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)
For \(N _2(g)+ O _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO ( g ), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)
For \(K_p \neq K_c, \Delta n_g\) must be non-zero.
For \(H _2 O ( g )+ CO ( g ) \rightleftharpoons H _2(g)+ CO _2(g), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)

For \(H _2(g)+ I _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 HI ( g ), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)
For \(N _2(g)+ O _2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO ( g ), \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \Rightarrow K_p=K_c\)
