Answer:
N₂ = 0.7515atm
O₂ = 0.1715atm
NO = 0.0770atm
Explanation:
For the reaction:
N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)
Where Kp is defined as:
Pressures in equilibrium are:
N₂ = 0.790atm - X
O₂ = 0.210atm - X
NO = 2X
Replacing in Kp:
0.0460 = [2X]² / [0.790atm - X] [0.210atm - X]
0.0460 = 4X² / 0.1659 - X + X²
0.0460X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 4X²
-3.954X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 0
Solving for X:
X = - 0.050 → False answer. There is no negative concentrations.
X = <em>0.0385 atm</em> → Right answer.
Replacing for pressures in equilibrium:
N₂ = 0.790atm - X = <em>0.7515atm</em>
O₂ = 0.210atm - X = <em>0.1715atm</em>
NO = 2X = <em>0.0770atm</em>
Answer: 323.61 g of will be produced
Explanation:
The given balanced chemical reaction is :
According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of require 1 mole of
Thus 3.00 moles of will require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.
As 2 moles of give = 2 moles of
Thus 3.00 moles of give =
of
Mass of
Thus 323.61 g of will be produced from the given moles of both reactants.
