Solution

The correct option is B 2.4 atm
Let's assume initial mass of N2O4 is 100 g. Therefore, after 20% decomposition, the mass of N2O4 left will be 80 g.

N2O4(g)2NO2(g)Initial10092 mol0=1.08 molAt equilibrium8092 mol2046 mol=0.86 mol=0.43 mol

From ideal gas equation,
At 300 K,P0V=n0RT0
1×V=1.08×R×300 ...(1)
At 600 K,P1V=n1RT1
P1×V=(0.86+0.43)×R×600 ...(2)
Dividing equation (2) by (1),
P11=1.29×6001.08×300
P1=1.29×21.08=2.38 atm2.4 atm
