### Equilibrium Constant \( K_p \) Calculation**Problem Statement:**A reaction vessel initially contains only 3.5 atm of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \). When the system reaches equilibrium according to the reaction below, there is 1.7 atm of \( \text{NO}_2 \) in the vessel. What is \( K_p \) for this reaction?\[ 2 \text{NO}_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 (g) \]**Solution:**To calculate the equilibrium constant \( K_p \), follow these steps:1. **Determine Changes in Pressure:** - Initial partial pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) = 3.5 atm - Changes due to equilibrium: - The formation of \( \text{NO}_2 \) increases its pressure by 1.7 atm. - According to stoichiometry, for every 2 moles of \( \text{NO}_2 \) formed, 1 mole of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) dissociates.2. **Equilibrium Pressures:** - The change in pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) = \(- \frac{1.7}{2} \) atm due to the stoichiometry. - Equilibrium pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) = Initial pressure - Change = \( 3.5 - \frac{1.7}{2} \) atm3. **Calculate \( K_p \):** - \( K_p = \frac{(P_{NO_2})^2}{P_{N_2O_4}} \) - Substitute the equilibrium pressures into the expression for \( K_p \) to find the value.This setup allows you to calculate the equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the given reaction based on pressure changes in a closed system.
