Solid ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3, decomposes to produce NH3 and CO2 gases and water vapor according to the following equation:

(NH4)2CO3 (s) «2NH3 (g) + CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

A certain amount of solid ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3, was placed in an evacuated and sealed 5,00-L flask and heated to 673 K. Some of the solid decomposed until equilibrium according to the above equation.

  1. Write an expression for the equilibrium constant kp for this reaction in terms of partial pressures,
  2. If the vapor pressure of water at equilibrium was 0.522 atm, (i) what were the equilibrium partial pressures of NH3 and CO2, respectively? (ii) What was the total gas pressure at equilibrium?
  3. Calculate the equilibrium constants kp and kc, respectively for the above equilibrium at 673 K.
  4. How many grams of (NH4)2CO3 had completely decomposed when equilibrium was established at the above temperature?
