Question
Two moles of compound $\mathrm{P}$ were placed in a sealed container. The container was heated and $\mathrm{P}$ was partially decomposed to produce $\mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ only. A dynamic equilibrium between $\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ was established.
At equilibrium $x$ moles of $R$ were present and the total number of moles present was $\left(2+\frac{x}{2}\right)$.
What is the equation for this reversible reaction?

Question
‘Black powder’ is a mixture of potassium nitrate, carbon and sulfur. The mixture reacts as shown.
\(4KNO_3(s) + 7C(s) + S(s) \rightarrow 3CO_2(g) + 3CO(g) + 2N_2(g) + K_2S(s) + K_2CO_3(s)\)
