Nitrogen oxide forms naturally in the atmosphere according to the endothermic reaction: N2 (g) + O2 (g) = 2 NO (g) Kp = 4.1 × 10-31 at 298 K Use the ideal gas law to calculate the concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen present in air at a pressure of 1.0 atm and a temperature of 298 K. Assume that nitrogen composes 78% of air by volume and that oxygen composes 21% of air. Find the "natural" equilibrium concentration of NO in air in units of molecules/cm³.

Consider the following equilibrium: 2NOC1 (g) 2NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) AG=41. KJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 3.76 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOC1) and 6.26 atm of nitrogen monoxide (NO) at 1161. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of NO tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding C1₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of NO will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding C1₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NO will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding Cl₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of C12 needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. OO rise fall yes no atm x10 X Ś
