Be sure to answer all parts. Nitrogen dioxide decomposes according to the reaction 2 NO2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + O2(g) where Kp = 4.48 × 10−13 at a certain temperature. If 0.65 atm of NO2 is added to a container and allowed to come to equilibrium, what are the equilibrium partial pressures of NO(g) and O2(g)?

Partial Pressure of NO = 9.12 x 10^(-5)atm

Partial Pressure of O2 = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

Explanation:

2 NO2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

Now,Kp = 4.48 × 10^(−13)

the initial pressure of NO2 that was added is 0.65 atm.

Now,

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Let's say Total pressure is x;

So Partial pressure of (NO) = (1+1)x = 2x

Similarly Partial pressure of O2 = x

Now Kp =[(2x)² (x)] /[0.65]²

Since Kp = 4.48 × 10^(−13)

Thus, 4.48 × 10^(−13) =[(2x)² (x)] /[0.65]²

Multiply both sides by 0.65²

So, 4.48 x 0.65² x 10^(−13) = 2x³

2x³ = 1.899 x 10^(−13)

x³ =[ 1.889 x 10^(−13)] /2

= 0.945 x 10^(−13)

So x = ∛0.945 x 10^(−13) = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

So, Partial Pressure of NO = 2x = 2( 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm) = 9.12 x 10^(-5)atm

Also Partial Pressure of O2 = x = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
