An amount of solid NH_4HS is placed in a flask already
containing ammonia gas at a certain temperature at 0.50 atm pressure.

Ammonium hydrogen sulphide decomposes to yield NH_3 and H_2S gases in

the flask. When the decomposition reaction reaches equilibrium, the

total pressure in the flask rises to 0.84 atm? The equilibrium constant

for NH_4HS decomposition at this temperature is:

Show answer and solution
NH4HS(s) [IMAGE] NH3(g) + H2S(g)
Initial presens 0 0.5 0

At equi. 0 0.5+x x

Total pressure = 0.5 + 2x = 0.84
∴ \therefore\ x = 0.17 atm
Kp = [IMAGE] = 0.11 atm
