Which of the following statements is/are mathematically correct regarding the dissociation of taking — Chemical Equilibrium Chemistry Question
Question
Which of the following statements is/are mathematically correct regarding the dissociation of $N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$ taking place in a closed vessel at constant temperature?
Answer: A,B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Theoretical vapour density $D = \text{Molar Mass}/2 = 92/2 = 46$ (A is correct). If $\alpha = 0$ (no dissociation), $d = D = 46$ (B is correct). If $\alpha = 1$ (100% dissociation), $d = \frac{D}{1+1} = 46/2 = 23$ (C is correct). By formula $d = \frac{D}{1+\alpha}$, as $\alpha$ increases, the denominator increases, so $d$ MUST decrease, not increase (D is false).
