Math Problem Statement

If the initial concentration of NONO is 0.175 MM, what is the equilibrium concentration of N2N2?

Solution

Given that the initial concentration of NO is 0.175 M and using the previous analysis, we can determine the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2 based on the reaction:

2NO(g)N2(g)+O2(g)2 \text{NO}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g)

From the ICE table set up earlier:

SpeciesInitial (M)Change (M)Equilibrium (M)
NO\text{NO}0.1752x-2x0.1752x0.175 - 2x
N2\text{N}_20+x+xxx
O2\text{O}_20+x+xxx

We calculated earlier that xx, the change in concentration, is approximately 0.0866M0.0866 \, M.

Equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2:

[N2]eq=x=0.0866M[\text{N}_2]_{eq} = x = 0.0866 \, M

So, the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2 is approximately 0.0866M0.0866 \, M.

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. How would the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2 change if the initial concentration of NO were increased?
  2. What is the effect of temperature on the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2?
  3. How can you calculate the partial pressure of N2\text{N}_2 at equilibrium?
  4. What is the relationship between the equilibrium constant KcK_c and the concentrations of reactants and products?
  5. How does the stoichiometry of the reaction affect the equilibrium concentrations?
  6. What would happen to the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2 if the volume of the system is decreased?
  7. How would the equilibrium position change if a catalyst is added to the reaction?
  8. Can the equilibrium concentration of N2\text{N}_2 be directly measured experimentally?

Tip: When dealing with equilibrium problems, carefully track the stoichiometric coefficients since they directly influence how concentration changes relate to each other.
