Expert Solution
Step 1

We have the following reation:2NO2gN2O4gGiven:KP=6.7 at 298KVoplume of the container=2.25LNo. of moles of NO2=0.059No. of moles of N2O4=0.081First we need to calculate the concentration of both the NO2 and the  N2O4 for this we apply the following formula,Concentration/molarity=no. of moles volume in litersTherefore,NO2=0.059 mol2.25 L                       N2O4=0.081 mol2.25 LNO2=0.026223M                       N2O4=0.036M
