Solution

The correct option is D None of these
Reaction: N2O42NO2t=0p0t=teq(px)2x
KP=0.5P0
Let, initial pressure of N2O4 be P
At equilibrium (t=teq),(px)+2x=3P0
p+x=3P0(i)
And, Kp=(PNO2)2PN2O4(2x)2px=4x2px=P02 (ii)
From eq n(i) and (ii) n=12P0 and P=52P0
When volume is halved, pressure will be doubled, due to Boyle's Law (P1V)
so, PN2O4=2(Px)=2×2P0=4P0.PNO2=2(2x)=2P0.
Hence, new equilibrium pressure is 6P0
