Answer: The most likely partial pressures are 98.7MPa for NO₂ and 101.3MPa for N₂O₄
Explanation: To determine the partial pressures of each gas after the increase of pressure, it can be used the equilibrium constant Kp.
For the reaction 2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄, the equilibrium constant is:
Kp =
where:
P(N₂O₄) and P(NO₂) are the partial pressure of each gas.
Calculating constant:
Kp =
Kp = 0.0104
After the weights, the total pressure increase to 200 MPa. However, at equilibrium, the constant is the same.
P(N₂O₄) + P(NO₂) = 200
P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)
Kp =
0.0104 =
0.0104 +
- 200 = 0
Resolving the second degree equation:
=
= 98.7
Find partial pressure of N₂O₄:
P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)
P(N₂O₄) = 200 - 98.7
P(N₂O₄) = 101.3
The partial pressures are = 98.7 MPa and P(N₂O₄) = 101.3 MPa
