these type of questions drive me crazy but i have learnt a formula which will be really helpful in these kind of questions it is Pi = (Ni/Nt ) x Pthttp://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_s06_qp_1.pdf can someone plz hekp me with q10.
Pi = pressure of the gas
Ni = no of mole of the gas at equilibrium
Nt = total no of moles of both gases at equilibrium
Pt = total pressure
now we have the formula N2O4 --> 2NO2 at the beginning of the reaction before we start we have 1 mole of N2O4 and zero moles of NO2 at equilibrium we will have 0.5 moles because it dissociate by 50% since the ratio is 1:2 we will have 0.5:1 moles so
Pt = given in the question 1 atm
Ni of N204 = 0.5
Ni of NO2 = 1
Nt = 1.5
Pi of N2O4 = 0.5/1.5 x 1 = 1/3 atm
Pi of NO2 = 1/1.5 x 1 = 2/3 atm
Kp = (Pi of NO2)^2/ (Pi of N2O4)
Kp = (2/3)^2/1/3 = 4/3
ANSWER: C
learn the formula it is very helpful with these type of questions
