Chapter 13, Problem 112SAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct statements for the reversible reaction ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{(g)+O}}_{\text{2}}\text{(g)}\rightleftharpoons \text{2NO(g)}$ should be selected.

Concept introduction:

${\text{K}}_{\text{p}}$ or $\text{Kc}$ are the equilibrium constants for the reaction which are ratio of gaseous and aqueous products and reactant molecules.

$\text{A + B }\leftrightarrow \text{C + D }$

$\text{K = Kc = }\frac{\text{[aC] [aD]}}{\text{[aA] [aB]}}$

$\text{K = Kp = }\frac{\text{[PC] [PD]}}{\text{[PA] [PB]}}$

Here, ‘a’ represents the active mass and ‘P’ represents the partial pressure.
