7.4 Calculating the Equilibrium Constant
7.3 Reaction Quotient and Equilibrium Constant
Sulfur trioxide, \(\text{SO}_3(g)\), is produced by the catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide according to the following reversible reaction:
\[ 2\,\text{SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{SO}_3(g) \]
A rigid reaction vessel at \(700\text{ K}\) is charged with a gaseous mixture where the initial partial pressures are \(P_{\text{SO}_2} = 0.20\text{ atm}\), \(P_{\text{O}_2} = 0.25\text{ atm}\), and \(P_{\text{SO}_3} = 0.60\text{ atm}\). What is the value of the reaction quotient, \(Q_p\), for this initial mixture?
