Solution

The correct option is B 57.5
Let initial mole of N2O4(g) is one
N2O4(g)2NO2(g)
initial moles 10
At equilibrium1α2x
Total number of moles at equilibrium =1+α
PN2O4=1α1+α×P
PNO2=2α(1+α)×P
Hence,
KP=P2NO2PN2O4=4α2(1α2)×2
4.5=4α2(1α2)×2
α=0.6
Mole fraction of N2O4:
XN2O4=1α1+α=0.25
XNO2=0.75
Average molar mass of mixture
=0.25×92+0.75×46=57.5
