  • Equilibrium Pressure Calculation for N2O4 and NO2 with Volume Change
    Initial pressures:

    PN2O4 = 0.30 atm

    PNO2 = 1.1 atm

    Equilibrium constant at 350 K:

    Kp = [NO2]^2/[N2O4] = (1.1 atm)^2/0.30 atm = 4.07 atm

    At equilibrium, let the partial pressures of N2O4 and NO2 be x atm and y atm, respectively.

    Kp = [NO2]^2/[N2O4] = y^2/x = 4.07 atm

    Since the volume of the container is doubled, the partial pressures of N2O4 and NO2 will each be halved:

    x = PN2O4 = 0.30 atm / 2 = 0.15 atm

    y = PNO2 = 1.1 atm / 2 = 0.55 atm

    Therefore, the equilibrium pressures are:

    PN2O4 = 0.15 atm

    PNO2 = 0.55 atm
