Equilibrium Partial Pressures Calculation
Equilibrium Constant KP Calculation
To calculate the equilibrium constant KP for the given reaction, we use the formula:
KP = (Peq(CS2) * Peq(H2)^4) / (Peq(CH4) * Peq(H2S)^2)
Substitute the calculated equilibrium partial pressures into the formula:
KP = (0.07902 * (0.01316)^4) / (0.06053 * (0.05044)^2) ≈ 23.43
Therefore, the equilibrium constant KP for the reaction at 1304 K is approximately 23.43.
