The conversion of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) is important in atmospheric chemistry.

Question:

The conversion of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is important in atmospheric chemistry. National Ambient Air Quality Standards are set for NO2, a major component of photochemical smog. Nitric oxide and oxygen are contained in an experimental reactor and allowed to react until the equilibrium NO2 , NO + 12 O2 is achieved. Determine the equilibrium partial pressures and the mole fractions of each species for conditions of 300 K and 1 atm. The ratio of O atoms to N atoms is 10.
