Question
Nitrogen monoxide decomposes by the following equation: 2NO(g) N2(g) +
02(g); Kc = 2.3 x 10^30 at 298 K. In the atmosphere, PO2 = 0.209 atm and PN2
= 0.781 atm. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of NO in the air we
breathe? (Hint: You need Kp to find the partial pressure.)
P (NO) = 2.7 X 10^-15 atm
P (NO) = 2.7 X 10^-14 atm
O P (NO) = 2.7 X 10^-16 atm
O P (NO) = 2.7 X 10^-17 atm
