Solution

$N_{2}$
$O_{2}$ $N O$
Initial volume
4
1
0
Equilibrium volume
$4 - x$ $1 - x$ $2 x$
$K = \frac{(2 x)^{2}}{(4 - x) (1 - x)} = 8 \times 10^{- 4}$
$\frac{4 x^{2}}{4} = 8 \times 10^{- 4}$
$x = 0.0283$

$N_{2}$
$O_{2}$ $N O$
Equilibrium volume
3.9717
0.9717
0.0566
The percentage by volume of nitrogen formed $\frac{0.0566}{5} \times 100 = 1.11 = X$
$100 X = 111$
