A certain number of moles of H20 gas are introduced into a container of fixed volume V at a temperature such that the gas remains stable and undissociated. Subsequently, the temperature is raised and dissociation occurs according to the reaction: 2H20 2H2 + O2. Let A be the fraction of H20 molecules dissociated at a temperature corresponding to the total pressure P of the gas. Find the equilibrium constant as a function of A and P.
