Q.

Sodium bicarbonate decomposes at high temperatures according to the following equation: 2NaHCO3(s)Na2CO3(s)+H2O(g)+CO2(g) . At a certain temperature, 50.0 g of NaHCO3  is allowed to react in a 6.0 L evacuated vessel. At equilibrium, the total pressure is 4 atm, with some of both solids still present. If 50.0 g of  NaHCO3 is allowed to react in a 3.0 L evacuated vessel at the same temperature, what will the pressure (in mmHg) of CO2(g)  be at equilibrium?

 2NaHCO3(s)Na2CO3(s)+H2O(g)+CO2(g)
 Kp=pH2O×pCO2=2×2=4
Kp is constant at constant  TpH2O=pCO2=2atm
