Question -


At 30C,Kp for the dissociation reaction:
SO2Cl2 (g) SO2 (g) + Cl2 (g) is 2.9x 102~atm. If the total pressure is 1 atm, the degree of dissociation of SO2Cl2 is (assume 1α2 =1)

Options:
A .   85%
B .   12%
C .   17%
D .   35%
Answer: Option C
:
C
Correct option is c).
 SO2Cl2(g) SO2(g)+Cl2(g)100 1α αα 
Total moles = 1+α
Pso2Cl2=1α/1+α,Pso2=α/1+α,Pcl2=α/1+α
Kp=(α /1+α)2/(1α/1+α)=α2/1α2  α2
α=Kp=(2.9×102=0.17,i.e., 17%
