Equilibrium problem
« on: June 27, 2015, 08:49:29 AM »
It is known that at 475K and a total pressure 1Bar, 5% NO2 is dissociated by follwing reaction:

2NO2  :rarrow: 2NO + O2



Q:  Keeping the teperature and the total pressure constant, some N2 is added to the system and allowed to reach equilibrium. It is measured that the final partial pressure of N2 is 33.775 kPa. Calculate the NO2 degree of dissociation.


So I try to solve it by:

2NO2       :rarrow:     2NO   +   O2
1                                             0                  0                   For initial pressure
0.95                                         0.05              0.025         total = 1.025

K= [0.05*1bar/1.025]^2 [0.025*1bar/1.025]/[0.15*1bar/1.025]^2
 = 6.756x10^-5


N2 is added to the system.

N2+O2   :rarrow:  2NO



Don't what to do in next step, the equilibrium constant of N2 + O2  :rarrow: 2NO is not given

Anyone know how to do?

N2 does not react (under ordinary conditions). It is simply an inert diluent.
Given the constant total pressure, and the stated equilibrium pressure of N2, what is the total pressure of NO2, NO and O2?
Work out the expression for the equilibrium constant as you did before, assuming a fractional conversion of x. You will get an equation in x to solve.

Thank u, it is useful to me!
