Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

2NO(g)   N2(g) + O2(g)

is Keq = 2.4 x 103 at 2000oC. Calculate Keq for N2(g) + O2(g)  2NO(g). At this temperature does the equilibrium favor NO or does it favor N2 and O2?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reaction: 2NO(g  N2(g) + O2(g)

The value of the equilibrium constant for the given reaction, Keq = 2.4 x 103 at 2000oC.

We have to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g 2NO(g).

Also, we have to find whether the equilibrium favors NO or N2 and Oat the given temperature.
