Solution

The correct option is D 0.1
Let a,b and c mol of N2,NO2, and N2O4 are present in 1 mol of a mixture.

Thus,
a+b+c=1 ....(i)
Also,
(a×28)+(b×46)+(c×92)a+b+c=55.4
28a+46b+92c=55.4 ....(ii)
Also, after heating,
(a×28)+[(b+2c)×46]a+b+2c=39.6 ....(iii)
28a+46b+92c=(a+b+2c)×39.6 ....(iv)
From equations (ii) and (iv), we get
a+b+2c=55.439.6=1.40 ....(v)
From equations (ii) and (v), we get,

28a+46b+92×0.4=55.4

28a+46b=18.6 ....(vi)

From equation (i) and (vi) a+b=0.6,b=0.1,a=0.5

N2=0.5,NO2=0.1,N2O4=0.4 mol.

Therefore, the option is D.
