Homework Statement
Is there a way I can prove (mathematically) that Kp for the chemical reaction: H2(g) + I2(s) <--> 2HI(g) will remain constant if I double the total pressure of the mixture?
Homework Equations
[/B]H2(g) + I2(s) <--> 2HI(g)
The Attempt at a Solution
If I write the expression for Kp from the above reaction I get: Kp = p^2(HI) / p(H2). Now, if I double the total pressure of the mixture I get K'p = 2Kp. However, I know from the theory that Kp is independent of the total pressure of the mixture. But is there a way I can prove it mathematically? Thanks in advance for your help.
