Answer:
The equilibrium pressure of NO2 is 0.084 atm
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
A reaction mixture initially contains 0.86 atm NO and 0.86 atm SO3.
Kp = 0.0118
Step 2: The balanced equation
NO( g) + SO3( g) ⇌ NO2( g) + SO2( g)
Step 3: The initial pressures
p(NO) = 0.86 atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 atm
p(NO2) = 0 atm
p(SO2) = 0 atm
Step 4: The pressure at the equilibrium
For 1 mol NO we need 1 mol SO3 to produce 1 mol NO2 and 1 mol SO2
p(NO) = 0.86 -x atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 -xatm
p(NO2) = x atm
p(SO2) = x atm
Step 5: Define Kp
Kp = ((pNO2)*(pSO2)) / ((pNO)*(pSO3))
Kp = 0.0118 = x²/(0.86 - x)²
X = 0.08427
p(NO) = 0.86 -0.08427 = 0.77573 atm
p(SO3) = 0.86 -0.08427 = 0.77573 atm
p(NO2) = 0.08427 atm
p(SO2) = 0.08427 atm
The equilibrium pressure of NO2 is 0.08427 atm ≈ 0.084 atm
A homogeneous mixture, the substances are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture
