If 'a' is the fraction of SO3 present by volume in an equilibrium mixture made from two volumes of SO2 and one volume of O2 and P is the total pressure, then

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g) The mole fraction of SO3 is a, and the rest, 1 - a, is SO2 and O2 in the ratio 2:1

xSO2 = 2(1-a)/3 and xO2 = (1-a)/3

Kp = (aP)2/[(2(1-a)P/3)2 ((1-a)P/3)]

Kp = (27 a2)/(4 (1-a)3 P)

a2/(1-a)3 = (4Kp/27) P

So a2/(1-a)3 ∝ P, option (d).
