Explanation / Answer

Partial pressure of O2, p(O2) = 0.245 atm

2 NO2 ó 2 NO + O2

(Po – 2 x) ó 2 x + x

a)

p(NO) = 2 * p(O2)

= 2 * 0.245 atm = 0.49 atm

At equilibrium,

Kp = p(O2) * p(NO)2 / p(NO2)2 = 158

0.245 * 0.492 / p(NO2)2 = 158

p(NO2)2 = 0.00037 atm

p(NO2) = 0.019 atm

b)

Total pressure at equilibrium = p(O2) + p(NO) + p(NO2)

= 0.245 + 0.49 + 0.019 atm

= 0.754 atm
