Solution

The correct option is C 0.166
The dissociation equilibrium is N2O42NO2.
At equilibrium, N2O4 is 20% dissociated.
Total pressure is 1 atm. Assum initially 1 mole of N2O4 is present.

The following table lists the equilibrium pressures of various species.

Equilibrium partial pressures
0.667
0.333
The expression for the equilibrium constant becomes Kp=P2NO2PN2O4=(0.333)20.667=0.166.
