Question

At a certain temperature, KC for SO2(g)+NO2(g)SO3(g)+NO(g) is 16. If we take one mole of each of all the four gases in one litre container, what would be the equilibrium concentration of NO and NO2?

A
NO=3.6 M
NO2=10 M

Solution

The correct option is D NO=1.6 M
NO2=0.4 M
SO2(g)+NO2(g)SO3(g)+NO(g)
1 1 1 1 Moles at t=0
(1-x) (1-x) (1+x) (1+x) (Moles at equilibrium)
KC=(1+xV)(1+xV)(1xV)(1xV)=(1+x)2(1x)2
(1+x)2(1x)2=16 (KC=16)
(1+x)(1x)=4 or x=35=0.6
[SO2]=[NO2]=1x=10.6=0.4 M
[SO3]=[NO]=1+x=1+0.6=1.6 M
