Chapter 12, Problem 74AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equilibrium constant and reaction of production of $\text{NO}$ is given. The concentration of $\text{NO}$ $(\text{in}\text{molecules}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}})$ for the given values of pressure of reactant is to be calculated. Also the reason of discrepancy between the calculated and theoretical value of concentration of $\text{NO}$ is to be given.

Concept introduction: The state when the reactants involved in a chemical reaction and the products formed in the reaction exist in concentrations having no further tendency to change is known as an equilibrium state of the reaction. When the equilibrium constant is represented as $K$.

To determine: The concentration of $\text{NO}$ $(\text{in}\text{molecules}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}})$ for the given reaction.
