Chapter 14, Problem 73E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature of the reaction, initial partial pressure of the reactant of the given reaction and the total pressure at equilibrium is given. The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction is to be calculated. Also the partial pressure of the reactant is to be calculated from the different given partial pressures of the reactant.

Concept introduction: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ is calculated by the formula,
   $K_{\text{p}}=\frac{{\left(P_{{\text{NO}}_2}\right)}^2}{{\left(P_{\text{NO}}\right)}^2\times \left(P_{{\text{O}}_2}\right)}$

To determine: The value of $K_{\text{p}}$ for the given reaction and the partial pressure of nitrogen dioxide.
