Answer:
Equilibrium constant for the 1st reaction is 10 and for the 2nd reaction is 0.1
Explanation:
[tex]2NO+O_{2}\rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2}[/tex]
[tex]K_{p}=\frac{P_{NO_{2}}^{2}}{P_{NO}^{2}\times P_{O_{2}}}=100[/tex]
(i) [tex]NO+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}\rightleftharpoons NO_{2}[/tex]
Equilibrium constant, [tex]K_{p1}=\frac{P_{NO_{2}}}{P_{NO}\times P_{O_{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}}=\sqrt{K_{p}}=\sqrt{100}=10[/tex]
(ii) [tex]NO_{2}\rightleftharpoons NO+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}[/tex]
[tex]K_{p2}=\frac{P_{NO}\times P_{O_{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}}{P_{NO_{2}}}=\frac{1}{K_{p1}}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1[/tex]
