A sample of pure NO2NO2 is heated to 335 ∘C∘C at which temperature it partially dissociates according to the equation 2NO2(g)⇌2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)⇌2NO(g)+ O2(g) At equilibrium the density of the gas mixture is 0.525 g/Lg/L at 0.750 atmatm .Calculate Kc for the reaction

1. 1 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 335 ° C = (335+ 273)K = 608

Pressure = 0.750 atm

Volume = 1 Litre

number of moles of NO2 = ???

Rate Constant =0.0821 L atm /K/mol

Using the Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

n =

n =

n = 0.015

n = 1.5 × 10⁻² mole

Density = 0.525 g/L

The equation for the reaction can be illustrated as:

                     2NO2(g)         ⇌          2NO(g)         +         O2(g)

For the ICE table; we have:

Initial                 x                                   0                              0

Change            -2y                               + 2y                          +y

Equilibrium        (x - 2y)                        2y                             y

Total moles at equilibrium = (x-2y)+2y+y

= x + y moles

However,

1.5 × 10⁻² mole of the mixture has a mass of 0.525 g

i.e x + y moles = 1.5 × 10⁻² mole

Now, molar mass of 1 mole of NO2 = 46g/mol

Since number of moles =

mass of (x-2y) moles = 46 × (x-2y) g

Molar mass of NO = 30 g/mol

Also, mass of NO = 2y × 30 = 60y

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O2 = y × 32 = 32y

Total mass = ( 46x - 90y)+60y+32y = 0.525

46x = 0.525

x =

x = 0.0114

x = 1.14 × 10⁻²

x + y moles = 1.5 × 10⁻²

y =  1.5 × 10⁻² -  1.14 × 10⁻²

y = 0.0036

y = 3.6 × 10⁻³

At equilibrium

[NO2] = ( 1.14 - 2(0.36))× 10⁻² = 4.2 × 10⁻³ M

[NO] = 2 ( 3.6 × 10⁻³)  = 7.2 × 10⁻³ M

[O2] = 3.6 × 10⁻³ M

0.011

when atmosphere interacts with biosphere they focuses on on the sources and sinks of green house gases (ghgs) air pollutants, particular matters, water and energy between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. the biosphere affects the climate. the atmosphere and biosphere are in constant interaction with each other, and all living things rely on gases in the atmosphere for life. organisms such as animals take in oxygen gas form the atmosphere to use in every cell of their body for smooth functioning of daily routine exercises.

the electrical  conductivity  of asolution  of an electrolyte is measured by determining the resistance of thesolution  between two flat or cylindrical electrodes separated by a fixed distance.
