Solution
The correct option is CPNO2=0.64atm,PN2O4=0.05atm For the first equilibrium, the total pressure is 1.1+0.28=1.38atm The value of the equilibrium constant will be Kp=P2NO2PN2O4=1.120.28=4.32 For the second equilibrium, since the volume of the container is doubled, the total pressure will be one half i.e 1.382=0.69atm The partial pressures of N2O4 and NO2 at equilibrium will be 0.69−x atm and x atm respectively. The value of the equilibrium constant will be Kp=P2NO2PN2O4=x20.69−x=4.32 PNO2=x=0.64atm and PN2O4=0.69−x=0.05atm
