Correct answer: 2

  1. Given reaction

2 NO(g)+O2(g)⇌2 NO2(g)2\,\mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{O_2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2\,\mathrm{NO_2}(g)2NO(g)+O2​(g)⇌2NO2​(g)

We need to find the equilibrium constant at 600 K600\,\mathrm{K}600K.

  1. Initial moles

nNO=2,nO2=1,nNO2=0n_{\mathrm{NO}}=2,\quad n_{\mathrm{O_2}}=1,\quad n_{\mathrm{NO_2}}=0nNO​=2,nO2​​=1,nNO2​​=0

At equilibrium, oxygen present is 0.60.60.6 mol.

So oxygen consumed is

1−0.6=0.4 mol1-0.6=0.4\text{ mol}1−0.6=0.4 mol

  1. Use stoichiometry

From the reaction,

1 mol O2 consumed⇒2 mol NO consumed and 2 mol NO2 formed1\text{ mol }\mathrm{O_2} \text{ consumed} \Rightarrow 2\text{ mol }\mathrm{NO} \text{ consumed and }2\text{ mol }\mathrm{NO_2} \text{ formed}1 mol O2​ consumed⇒2 mol NO consumed and 2 mol NO2​ formed

Therefore, if 0.40.40.4 mol O2\mathrm{O_2}O2​ is consumed:

NO consumed=2×0.4=0.8\mathrm{NO}\text{ consumed}=2\times 0.4=0.8NO consumed=2×0.4=0.8 NO2 formed=2×0.4=0.8\mathrm{NO_2}\text{ formed}=2\times 0.4=0.8NO2​ formed=2×0.4=0.8

Thus equilibrium moles are:

nNO=2−0.8=1.2n_{\mathrm{NO}}=2-0.8=1.2nNO​=2−0.8=1.2 nO2=0.6n_{\mathrm{O_2}}=0.6nO2​​=0.6 nNO2=0.8n_{\mathrm{NO_2}}=0.8nNO2​​=0.8

  1. Total moles at equilibrium

ntotal=1.2+0.6+0.8=2.6n_{\text{total}}=1.2+0.6+0.8=2.6ntotal​=1.2+0.6+0.8=2.6

Total pressure is 111 atm, so partial pressures are mole fractions times total pressure.

PNO=1.22.6×1=1.22.6P_{\mathrm{NO}}=\frac{1.2}{2.6}\times 1=\frac{1.2}{2.6}PNO​=2.61.2​×1=2.61.2​ PO2=0.62.6×1=0.62.6P_{\mathrm{O_2}}=\frac{0.6}{2.6}\times 1=\frac{0.6}{2.6}PO2​​=2.60.6​×1=2.60.6​ PNO2=0.82.6×1=0.82.6P_{\mathrm{NO_2}}=\frac{0.8}{2.6}\times 1=\frac{0.8}{2.6}PNO2​​=2.60.8​×1=2.60.8​

  1. Expression for equilibrium constant

For the reaction,

Kp=(PNO2)2(PNO)2(PO2)K_p=\frac{\left(P_{\mathrm{NO_2}}\right)^2}{\left(P_{\mathrm{NO}}\right)^2\left(P_{\mathrm{O_2}}\right)}Kp​=(PNO​)2(PO2​​)(PNO2​​)2​

Substitute values:

Kp=(0.82.6)2(1.22.6)2(0.62.6)K_p=\frac{\left(\frac{0.8}{2.6}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{1.2}{2.6}\right)^2\left(\frac{0.6}{2.6}\right)}Kp​=(2.61.2​)2(2.60.6​)(2.60.8​)2​

Simplify:

Kp=0.821.22⋅0.6×2.6K_p=\frac{0.8^2}{1.2^2\cdot 0.6}\times 2.6Kp​=1.22⋅0.60.82​×2.6

Since

0.82=0.64,1.22=1.44,1.44×0.6=0.8640.8^2=0.64,\quad 1.2^2=1.44,\quad 1.44\times 0.6=0.8640.82=0.64,1.22=1.44,1.44×0.6=0.864

So

Kp=0.640.864×2.6K_p=\frac{0.64}{0.864}\times 2.6Kp​=0.8640.64​×2.6

Kp≈0.7407×2.6≈1.93K_p\approx 0.7407\times 2.6\approx 1.93Kp​≈0.7407×2.6≈1.93

  1. Nearest integer

Kp≈2K_p\approx 2Kp​≈2

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 222.

Our derived answer matches it.
