Chapter 14, Problem 70E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equilibrium partial pressures of the product and the reactant are given. The partial pressures of the reactant and the product at new equilibrium formed by making the volume of the container double than the initial volume is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The ideal gas equation is given by the formula,$\text{Pressure}=\frac{\text{Change}\text{in}\text{number}\text{of}\text{moles}\times \text{Gas}\text{Constant}\times \text{Absolute}\text{temperature}}{\text{Volume}}$

To determine: The partial pressure of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_4$ and ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ at new equilibrium.
