CHEMICAL EQUILLIBRIUM

The equill const Kp for the rcn.

X +Y Z

is found to vary with temp as shown in graph

Explain how the following conclusions can be drawn fron it:

1) The equill mix contains a high proportion of Z at high pressures

2) The equill mix contains a high proportion of Z at high temperatures

Since it is rectangular hyperbola,
K_P.\frac {1}{T}=c \ where \ c \ is \ a \ constant

=> K_P=cT

Also \ K_P=\frac {p_Z}{p_X.p_Y}

where pi denotes respective partial pressure

Now as T increases =>KP increases

so it is obvoius that Z will ahve higher proption at higher temp

But what abt high pressures

Should we consider that P is directly proportional to T ?????

yeah,,,,
since no. of moles(total) and volume is constant
so Pressure is directly propotional to temp...and then same logic [1]
