Answer:

p_{N_2}^{eq}=p_{O_2}^{eq}}=18.27atm

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, the law of mass action turns out:

Kp=\frac{p_{N_2}^{eq}p_{O_2}^{eq}}{(p_{NO}^{eq})^2}

Whereas the equilibrium pressures, based on the stoichiometry and the change x, changes to:

Kp=\frac{(x)(x)}{(37.30-2x)^2}=2400

Solving for x via quadratic equation, one obtains:

x_1=18.27atm\\x_2=18.84atm

In such a way, the feasible solution is 18.27 atm since the other pressure lead to a negative pressure of NO at the equilibrium, therefore, the equilibrium pressures of nitrogen and oxygen that are equal, result in:

p_{N_2}^{eq}=p_{O_2}^{eq}}=x_1=18.27atm

Best regards.

The reaction is           2 NO (g) <----> N2(g) + O2

partial pressures

Initial                                 37.30          0          0

Change                            -2p                +p        +p

Equilibrium                          37.30-p        p          p

Kp = pN2 X pO2 / (pNO)^2

2400 = p^2 /  (37.30-p)^2

3339096 - 179040p + 2400p^2 = p^2

2399p^2 + 3339096  -179040 p = 0

On solving

p = 36.55atm

Thus partial pressure of N2 and O2 = 36. 55 atm

Consider three gases: Ar, SF6, and Cl2. If 50.0 grams of these gases are placed in each of three identical containers, which con
adoni [48]
The ideal gas law:
pV=nRT \Rightarrow p=\frac{nRT}{V}
p - pressure, n - number of moles, R - the gas constant, T - temperature, V - volume

The volume and temperature of all three containers are the same, so the pressure depends on the number of moles. The greater the number of moles, the higher the pressure.
The mass of gases is 50 g.

Ar \\&#10;M \approx 39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx  1.25 \ mol \\ \\&#10;SF_6 \\&#10;M \approx 146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.34 \ mol \\ \\&#10;Cl_2 \\&#10;M=70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\&#10;n=\frac{50 \ g}{70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.71 \ mol

The greatest number of moles is in the container with Ar, so there is the highest pressure.
