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 B57.5
N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)
At eqm. 1−a2a
So, the total number of moles =1+a;
Kp=P2NO2PN2O4=4a2Pt(1+a)(1−a)=4a2×2(1−a2)=4.5;
a=0.60.
So, the average molar mass of the mixture =(1−0.6)1.6×92+2×0.61.6×46=57.5.
