The formation of nitrogen monoxide from molecular nitrogen and oxygen
molecular at ambient conditions, an atmosphere of pressure and 25 ° C, is a phenomenon extraordinarily rare. This is represented by the value of the equilibrium constant with based on concentration.


The number of Kc is extraordinarily small and very close to zero. Get the value of Kc for the reverse reaction. We note that the result will be the reciprocal of the value of the reaction, therefore it will be a very large number, indicating that the decomposition from NO to ambient conditions is thermodynamically VERY favored

 

N2(g) + O2(g) = 2 NO(g)
Ke = 1 x 10
Transcribed Image Text:N2(g) + O2(g) = 2 NO(g) Ke = 1 x 10
Expert Solution
Step 1

The given reaction is 

N2 + O2 <<--->>>2NO 

So the forward reaction is 

N2 + O2 --->>> 2NO and Kc = 1×10^-30  

Thus the reverse reaction is 

2NO --->>> N2 +O2
