Solution

The correct option is A 0.53
Assume initially 1 mole of N2O4 is present.
The following table lists the number of moles of various species.
N2O4
NO2
Initial
1
0
Change
-0.4
0.8
Equilibrium
0.6
0.8

The volume of the vessel is 2L.
Thus, the equilibrium concentrations of N2O4 and NO2 are 0.3M and 0.4M respectively.
The expression for the equilibrium constant becomes Kc=[NO2]2[N2O4]=(0.4)20.3=0.53.
