Question

At equilibrium, the partial pressure of `SO_2` is 35.0 atm and that of `O_2` is 15.9 atm. What is the partial pressure of `SO_3` in atm?

Answer 1

You need to specify the equilibrium constant.......

Explanation:

`2SO_2+O_2rarr2SO_3`

`K_p=(p_(SO_3)^2)/(p_(SO_2)^2xxp_(O_2))` `=` `??`

We need to know `K_p` in order to access `p_(SO_3)`.
