The value of $∆ n$ for the following reaction will be :

${NH}_{4} Cl (s) ⇌ {NH}_{3} (g) + HCl (g)$

1.	1	2.	0.5
3.	1.5	4.	2

Hint:

∆ n_{g}

= number of gaseous molecules of products - number of gaseous molecules of reactants.

Step 1:

The relationship between

K_{c}

and

K_{p}

K_{p} = K_{c} {(RT)}^{∆ n}

where,

∆ n =

(number of moles of gaseous products)-(number of moles of gaseous reactants)

Step 2:

For solid-state reactants or product number of moles is constant and we did not include it.

For the reaction,

{NH}_{4} Cl (s) ⇌ {NH}_{3} (g) + HI (g)

∆ n = 2 - 0 = 2
