The decomposition of N2O to NO2 is carried out at 280∘C in chloroform. When equilibrium is reached, 0.2 mol of N2O4 and 2×10−3 mol of NO2 are present in a 2 L solution, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O4⇌2NO2 is:
N2O4 ⇌2NO2
We know that k=[NO2]2[N2O4]
⇒k=(2×10−32)2(0.22)=10−60.2×2=10−610−1=10−5
Hence, the value of k is 1×10−5.
