The vapour density of N ₂ O ₄ at a certain temperature is 30 . What is the percentage dissociation of N ₂ O ₄ at this temperature?
Options
- A46 %
- B53 %
- C75 %
- D92 %
Correct answer
B. 53 %
Step-by-step solution
The reaction is N ₂ O ₄ 2 NO ₂ Molecular weight of N ₂ O ₄=2 14+4 16=92 Vapour density (D) of N ₂ O ₄ From, aligned & = molecular weight 2 & = 92 2 =46 & = D-d (n-1) d & = 46-30 (2-1) 30 = 16 30 & =0.533=53.3 % aligned
