Solution

N2O4=2NO2

Initial 1 0
Equilibr. (1-x) 2X

Total moles = (1-x) + 2X = (1+x)

p(N2O4)=(1x)/(1+x)×P

Given X = 0.25 P = 1 atm.
p(N2O4)=0.6 atm
p(NO2)=0.4 atm

Kp=p(NO2)2/p(N2O4)=0.267 atm
If degree of dissociation of N2O4 at 0.1 atm is Y
p(N2O4)=(1Y)/(1+Y)×0.1

p(NO2)=2Y/(1+Y)×0.1

Kp=((2Y+Y)2×(0.1)2)/((1Y)/(1+Y)×0.1)=0.667Y2

0.267atm=0.667Y2

Y=0.632 or 63.2%
