Solution
The correct option is A 0.75 N2+O2→2NO 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 =2−0.5=1.5moles. Therefore molar concentration of O2 = moles of O2Volume of concentration=1.5/2=0.75mol/L.
