Chapter 12, Problem 93CWP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equilibrium constant for the decomposition reaction of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant $K$ describes the ratio of the reactant to the product on the equilibrium conditions in terms of molar concentration.

The equilibrium constant depends upon temperature.

Law of mass action is applicable on the equilibrium reactions.

The concentration unit $\text{mol/L}$ is represents as $\text{M}$.

To determine: The value of equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ${\text{NO}}_2$.
