Solution
The correct option is C 0.03 2NO2(g)⇋2NO(g)+O2(g) Analysis shows that the partial pressure of O2 is 0.25 atm at equilibrium. The partial pressure of NO at equilibrium 2× the partial pressure of O22×0.25=0.50 atm. The equillibrium constant KP is 100 atm. Kp=P2NO×PO2P2NO2 100=(0.50)2×0.25P2NO2 P2NO2=0.000625 PNO2=0.025≃0.03 The partial pressure of NO2 at equilibrium is 0.03 atm.
