Question

One mole of NaO4(g) at300 K is kept in a closed container under one atmosphere. It is heated to 600 K when 20% by mass of decomposes to NO2 (G). The resultant pressure is : NaO4(g)

Options

A.1.2 atm
B.2.4 atm
C.2.0 atm
D.1.0 atm

Solution

1 mole N2O4(i.e.,92g) is lept at 1 atm P and 300
             K in a closed container, thus
             P2 = 1 atm V = ? n = 1 mole,
              R = 0.0821 L. atm. mol -1K -1, T = 300K
              V = = 24.63L
             Now, N2O2 decomposes as
             N2O2 ⇋ 2NO2
             and 20% N2O4
             decomposes to NO2, thus
             moles of NO2 formed = 2 × moles of N2O4
             decomposed
             and moles of N2O4 remaining =
              = 0.8 mole
              and total moles of N2O4 and NO2 = 0.8 + 0.4
             = 1.2 moles
             Now P2 =
              = 2 . 4 atm.
