This will give a cubic equation,which nobody wants to solve.Therefore we make some approximations.First,since Kp is very large,this is essentially a limiting reagent problem,and almost all of the SO2 will disappear.Thus,2x0.35 bar,and so x0.175.Thus,as an approximation,assume that x=0.175.

This will give a cubic equation, which nobody wants to solve. Therefore we make some approximations. First, since Kp is very large, this is essentially a limiting reagent problem, and almost all of the SO2 will disappear. Thus, 2x ≈ 0.35 bar, and so x ≈ 0.175. Thus, as an approximation, assume that x =0.175. Thus, pSO3 = 2x = 0.35 bar pO2 = 0.76 – x = 0.585 and pSO2 is calculated by rearranging the equilibrium expression: 3(g) 2(g) 2(g) 3(g) 2(g) 2(g) 2 SO 2 p SO O 2 2 2 SO 6 SO 4 p O p K p p p (0.35) p 3 K p 5.60 10 (0.585) .74 10− = = = =× × Thus, pso2 = (3.74 x 10-6) 1/2 = 1.93 x 10-3 bar C2.
