Question

The equilibrium constant for the reaction below is Kp=2.26×10–3 at a certain temperature.  A container is pressurized until the pressure of NO is 0.400 atm and the pressure of Br2 is 0.250 atm.

2 NO (g)  +  Br2 (g)  ⇄ 2 NOBr (g)

Calculate the equilibrium pressure of NOBr in the container by the method of approximation as discussed in class.  Note:  Entering the exact answer, solved with a graphing calculator, will not receive credit.  Approximate the answer. 

PNOBr=      atm  (Answer with 3 significant figures)
