Question

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction N2O4(g)2NO2(g) is 4.5. What would be the average molar mass (in g/mol) of an equilibrium mixture of N2O4 and NO2 formed by the dissociation of pure N2O4 at a total pressure of 2 atm?

Solution

The correct option is B 57.5
N2O4(g)2NO2(g)
At eqm. 1a 2a

So, the total number of moles =1+a;

Kp=P2NO2PN2O4=4a2Pt(1+a)(1a)=4a2×2(1a2)=4.5;

a=0.60.

So, the average molar mass of the mixture =(10.6)1.6×92+2×0.61.6×46=57.5.
