If the partial pressure of NH3 at equilibrium is 0.252atm , what is the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2 ?

Question

The decomposition of ammonium carbamate to ammonia and CO2 at 40 degrees Celsius is written as
NH4CO2NH2 (s) <----> 2NH3 (g) + CO2 (g)

If the partial pressure of NH3 at equilibrium is 0.252atm , what is the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2 ?

Answer 1

Since you're starting with a solid and forming just NH3 and CO2, the partial pressure of CO2 will be 1/2 the partial pressure of NH3. This is because you only form 1/2 as many moles of CO2 as you form NH3.

Answer 2
