Chapter 15 end-of-chapter problem 15.28 asks you to add two
<br>
eqns to get a third and determine the Kp given Kc values for
<br>
the two given eqns. However, the solutions manual gives the
<br>
Kc for the final equation and does not convert it to Kp.
<br>
The answer of 9.524 x 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>-31</sup>
is correct for the Kc value.
<br>
(9.5 x 10<sup class="moz-txt-sup"><span
style="display:inline-block;width:0;height:0;overflow:hidden">^</span>-31</sup>
to the correct s.f.).
<br>
<br>
If you were to convert it to Kp you would use the eqn.<br>
<br>
Kp = Kc (RT)^delta(n),<br>
<br>
where delta(n) is the change in moles of gas.<br>
<br>
I believe there was a typo in asking for Kp. The point of<br>
the question was to learn how to manipulate eqns and Ks.<br>
