Question

At a certain temperature, the following equilibrium is established, CO(g)+NO2(g)CO2(g)+NO(g). One mole of each of four gases in mixed in a one-litre container and the reaction is allowed to reach an equilibrium state. When an excess of baryta water is added to the equilibrium mixture, the weight of white precipitate obtained is 236.49 g. The equilibrium constant Kc of the reaction is

Solution

The correct option is D 2.25
CO+NO2CO2+NO
Initial: 1 1 1 1
Equilbm: 1x 1x 1+x 1+x

Again,
CO2+Ba(OH)2BaCO3+H2O
236.4 g of barium carbonate corresponds to 236.4197=1.2 moles of barium carbonate. The number of moles of carbon dioxide will also be 1.2.
Hence, 1+x=1.2 or x=0.2.
The expression for the equilibrium constant is Kc=(1+x1x)2=(1.20.8)2=2.25.
