Question

Find the value of x?

Consider the reaction xA`harr`B+C.The equilibrium constant `K_p` is independent of the concentration of A.The value of x will be

Answer 1

Consider,

`xA rightleftharpoons B + C`

Without more data, we can't really "confirm" the coefficient of `A`. However, we can reliably say that,

`K_p = ([B][C])/([A]^0) = [B][C]`,

or that `A` is a pure solid or liquid.
