Question

The equilibrium constants for
a) the reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas to form nitric oxide.
b) Nitric oxide decomposing to form 1/2N2(g) + 1/2O2(g)

are k and k' respectively. What is the relation between k and k'?

Answer 1

(a) N2+O2----------->2NO.
THERE IS A EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR THE REACTION OF NITROGEN GAS AND OXYGEN GAS TO FORM NITRIC OXIDE
THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR THIS REACTION IS TWO (2).
(b) 1/2×2NO------> 1/2N2+1/2O2.
THERE IS A EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR THE REACTION OF DECOMPOSITION OF NITROGEN OXIDE INTO NITROGEN GAS AND OXYGEN GAS SHOW THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR THE REACTION OF THIS REACTION IS HALF
(1/2).
