Partial pressure plot
In 5.35 theres a partial pressure/ Kpa vs time graph and you have to figure out how to balance the equation as well as calculate K from it. How are we supposed to read this?

Re: Partial pressure plot
Partial pressures of gases are proportional to their concentrations. Compare the relative change in the partial pressures of the gases from beginning to end to determine the stoichiometric coefficients. Find K using the stoichiometric coefficients to write the equation for K, then plug in the partial pressures found at equilibrium.

Re: Partial pressure plot
To find the ratios between the compounds, you compare the change in their partial pressures. The partial pressure of compound A changed by around 10. The partial pressure of compound B changed by around 5. The partial pressure of compound C changed by around 10. The ratio of A to B to C would be 2:1:2. You can use this information to balance the chemical equation.
