Solution

The correct option is B α=KP4P
C

N2O4(g)NX2OX4(g) say initially is P atmP atm.

PV=nRTPV=nRT

P(1)=(36.8/92)(0.082)(300K)P(1)=(36.8/92)(0.082)(300K)

P=9.84 atmP=9.84 atm

Now we have:

N2O4(g)2NO2(g)NX2OX4(g)↽−−⇀2NOX2(g)

Considering initial pressure of N2O4 as p, at equilibrium, assuming 'x' as the degree of dissociation, we will have pressure of N2O4 to be p(1-x) and pressure of NO2 as 2px.

So,

Kp=[NO2]2[N2O4]Kp=[NOX2]2[NX2OX4]

Kp=(2px)2p(1x)Kp=(2px)2p(1−x)

Kp=4px2(1x)Kp=4px2(1−x)

assuming 1x1−x approximately as 11,

Kp=4px2
