Solution

The correct option is A 0.75
N2+O22NO
Given
  • Initial moles of N2=3
  • Initial moles of O2=2
  • Volume of container = 2L
  • Moles of NO formed at equillibrium = 1

From the balanced reaction we can say that 1mol O2 reacts to form 2 mol of NO.
Therefore by unitary method number of moles of O2 required to form 1 mol NO=0.5.
Therefore number of moles of O2 remaining at equillibrium =20.5=1.5moles.
Therefore molar concentration of O2 = moles of O2Volume of concentration=1.5/2=0.75mol/L.
