Question

A sample of pure NO2 gas healed lo 1000 K decomposes.
NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)
The equillibrium constant KP is 100atm. Analysis shows that the partial pressure of O2 is 0.25 atm at equillibrium. The partial pressure of NO2 at equillibrium is:

A

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 O2 2×0.25=0.50 atm.
The equillibrium constant KP is 100 atm.
Kp=P2NO×PO2P2NO2
100=(0.50)2×0.25P2NO2
P2NO2=0.000625
PNO2=0.0250.03
The partial pressure of NO2 at equilibrium is 0.03 atm.
