An equilibrium mixture at 300K300K contains N2O4{N}_{2}{O}_{4} and NO2{NO}_{2} at 0.280. 28 and 1.1atm1. 1atm pressure, respectively. If the volume of the container is doubled, the new equilibrium pressure of these two gases are respectively.

Options

  1. A0.064atm0. 064atm and 0.095atm0. 095atm
  2. B0.64atm0. 64atm and 0.095atm0. 095atm
  3. C0.095atm0. 095atm and 0.632atm0. 632atm
  4. D0.095atm0. 095atm and 0.64atm0. 64atm

Correct answer

D. 0.095atm0. 095atm and 0.64atm0. 64atm

Step-by-step solution

{N}_{2}{O}_{4}\left(g\right) ⇌ 2{NO}_{2}\left(g\right)</p><p>Pressureatequilibrium<br/></p><p>Pressure at equilibrium<br />{K}_{p} = {p}_{{NO}_{2}}^{2}{p}_{{N}_{2}{O}_{4}} = \dfrac{{\left(1 . 1\right)}^{2}}{0 . 28} = 4 . 32atm</p><p>Ifvolumeofthecontainerisdoubled,thepressurewillreducedtohalf</p><p></p><p>If volume of the container is doubled, the pressure will reduced to half</p><p>{N}_{2}{O}_{4} ⇌ 2{N}_{2}O</p><p>Newpressure,</p><p>[0.0282−p][1.12+2p]</p><p>New pressure,</p><p>\left[\dfrac{0 . 028}{2} - p\right]\left[\dfrac{1 . 1}{2} + 2p\right]

Kp=[1.12+2p]2[0.282−p]=4.32{K}_{p} = \dfrac{{\left[\dfrac{1 . 1}{2} + 2p\right]}^{2}}{\left[\dfrac{0 . 28}{2} - p\right]} = 4 . 32

On solving, we get

p=0.045p = 0 . 045

∴pN2O4=0.14−0.045=0.095atm∴ {p}_{{N}_{2}{O}_{4}} = 0 . 14 - 0 . 045 = 0 . 095atm

pNO2=0.55+(2×0.045)=0.64atm{p}_{{NO}_{2}} = 0 . 55 + \left(2 \times 0 . 045\right) = 0 . 64atm
