0.1976 atm is the total pressure in the container at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The value of K_p for the given reaction = 0.842

Partial pressure of the hydrogen sulfide = 0.104 atm

Partial pressure of the hydrogen sulfide at equilibrium = (0.104-x) atm

Partial pressure of the hydrogen gas at equilibrium = x

Partial pressure of the sulfur gas at equilibrium = x

$H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 2H_2(g)+S(g)$

Initially

0.104 atm 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.104 -2x) 2x x

The expression of K_p is given by ;

$K_p=\frac{x\times x}{(0.104 -x) }$

$0.842 =\frac{x^2}{(0.104-x)}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.0936 atm

Partial pressure of the hydrogen sulfide at equilibrium = (0.104-x) atm

= (0.104-0.0936 ) atm = 0.0104 atm

Partial pressure of the hydrogen gas at equilibrium = x = 0.0936 atm

Partial pressure of the sulfur gas at equilibrium = x = 0.0936 atm

Total pressure in the container will be sum of all the partial pressure of the hydrogen sulfide gas, hydrogen gas and sulfur gas at the equilibrium.

P = 0.0104 atm + 0.0936 atm + 0.0936 atm = 0.1683 atm

0.1976 atm is the total pressure in the container at equilibrium.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in $h_{2}s$ , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between $h_{2}s$ molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent $h_{2}s$ molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
