### Equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s Principle: Sample Problem**Problem Statement:**A sample of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) gas with a pressure of 1.00 atm is placed in a flask. When equilibrium is achieved, 20.0% of the \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) has been converted to \( \text{NO}_2 \) gas.#### Questions:(a) Calculate \( K_p \).(b) If the original pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) is 0.10 atm, what is the percent dissociation of the gas? Is the result in agreement with Le Chatelier’s principle?---**Detailed Explanation:**There are no graphs or diagrams in the provided image, only text. Therefore, we'll proceed directly with the text transcription suitable for an educational website.### Solution:#### (a) Calculate \( K_p \).1. **Initial Information:** - Initial pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \): 1.00 atm - Percent dissociation to \( \text{NO}_2 \): 20.0%2. **Write the dissociation reaction:** \[ \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 (g) \leftrightarrow 2 \text{NO}_2 (g) \]3. **Establish equilibrium pressures:** Since 20.0% of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) dissociates: - Pressure of \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_4 \) at equilibrium: \( 1.00 \text{ atm} \times (1 - 0.20) = 0.80 \text{ atm} \) - Pressure of \( \text{NO}_2 \) at equilibrium: \( 1.00 \text{ atm} \times 0.20 \times 2 = 0.40 \text{ atm} \) \[ \text{NO}_2 = 2 \times (\text{0.20 atm}) = 0.40 \text{ atm} \]4. **Calculate \( K_p \):** \[ K_p = \frac{{(\
