Suppose that the gas-phase reaction A B and B A are both elementary processes with rate constants of 6.56e-02 s-1 and 3.51e-04 s-1, respectively. Figure out the value of the equilibrium constant, KP, for the equilibrium A(g) B(g), and figure out which of the two substances, A or B develops higher partial pressure at equilibrium. Use this information to pick the choice from below which is correct.
a) KP = 1.87e+02, and B(g) develops higher partial presssure.
b) KP = 6.52e-02, and A(g) develops higher partial presssure.
c) KP = 5.35e-03, and A(g) develops higher partial presssure.
d) KP = 5.35e-03, and B(g) develops higher partial presssure.
e) KP = 1.87e+02, and A(g) develops higher partial presssure.
