Question
The equilibrium constant for the reaction: Nβ(g) + Oβ(g) β 2NO(g) is 0.09 at 3500 K. The fraction of equimolar mixture of Nβ and Oβ converted into NO is
Answer: A
π‘ Solution & Explanation
Let initial moles be 1 each. Eq moles: Nβ = 1-x, Oβ = 1-x, NO = 2x. K = (2x)Β² / (1-x)Β² = 0.09. Taking square roots: 2x / (1-x) = 0.3. Thus, 2x = 0.3 - 0.3x, yielding 2.3x = 0.3, and x = 0.3 / 2.3 β 0.13. The converted fraction is 0.13. Therefore, correct answer is A.
