MCQ
One mole of $N_2O_4(g)$ at $300\,K$ is kept in closed container under one atmosphere. It is heated to $600\,K$ when $20\%$ of $N_2O_4(g)$ decomposes to $NO_2(g)$. The resultant pressure at $600\,K$ is .....$atm$
  • A
    $1.2$
  • $2.4$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2.4$
b
The pressure at $300 \mathrm{K}$ is $1 \mathrm{atm}$. Pressure at $600 \mathrm{K}$ will be $\mathrm{P}_{2}=\mathrm{T}_{2} \times \frac{\mathrm{P}_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}=600 \times \frac{1}{300}=2 \mathrm{atm}$

Decomposition is $20 \%$ by mass of $\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}$.

$\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4} \mathrm{N} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

Initial pressure                  2              0

Change in pressure         -0.4       0.8

Equilibrium pressure      1.6          0.8

Total pressure                   $=1.6+0.8=2.4$
