Question

Two solid compounds X and Y dissociates at a certain temperature as follows

$\begin{array}{l} X (s) ⇌ A (g) + 2 B (g); K_{P_{1}} = 9 \times 10^{- 3} {atm}^{3} \\ Y (s) ⇌ 2 B (g) + C (g); K_{p_{2}} = 4.5 \times 10^{- 3} {atm}^{3} \end{array}$

The total pressure of gases over a mixture of X and Y is:

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

$$X(s)$$⇌$$A(g)+x2B(g)(2x+2y)$$;$$KP1=PA$$⋅$$PB($$ total $$)2Y(s)$$⇌$$C(g)Y+2B(g)(2y+2x)$$; $$KP2=PCPB2$$ (total) $$KP1KP2=xy$$⇒$$x=2yKp1=x(2x+2y)2$$
