Write the expression for the equilibrium constant Kp for the following reaction. Enclose pressures in parentheses and do NOT write the chemical formula as a subscript. For example, enter (PNH3 )2 as (P NH3)2. If either the numerator or denominator is 1, please enter 1 2 MoO3(s) ↔ 2 MoO2(s) + O2(g)

Answer :

Answer: [tex]K_p={(p_{O_2})}[/tex]

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as [tex]K[/tex]

[tex]K_p[/tex] is the constant of a certain reaction at equilibrium for gaseous reactants and products.

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]MoO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons 2MoO_2(s)+O_2(g)[/tex]

The expression of  for above equation follows:

[tex]K_p={(p_{O_2})}[/tex]

As solids do not exert pressure, [tex]MoO_3[/tex] and [tex]MoO_2[/tex]  are not involved.

The expression  for the equilibrium constant Kp for the following reaction is  [tex]K_p = (po_2)[/tex]

Equilibrium constant:

It refers to the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants where each raised to the power of their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K.

Since the given expression is

MoO3(s) ↔ 2 MoO2(s) + O2(g)

So, the above expression should be considered for constant kp
