Question
$${N_2}{O_{4\left( g \right)}} \rightleftharpoons 2N{O_{2\left( g \right)}};{K_c} = 5.7 \times {10^{ - 9}}$$ at $$298\,K$$
At equilibrium
A.
concentration of $$N{O_2}$$ is higher than that of $${N_2}{O_4}$$
B.
concentration of $${N_2}{O_4}$$ is higher than that of $$N{O_2}$$
C.
both $${N_2}{O_4}$$ and $$N{O_2}$$ have same concentration
D.
concentration of $${N_2}{O_4}$$ and $$N{O_2}$$ keeps on changing.
Answer :
concentration of $${N_2}{O_4}$$ is higher than that of $$N{O_2}$$
Solution :
Smaller value of equilibrium constant $$\left( { < {{10}^{ - 3}}} \right)$$ signifies the greater concentration of reactants as compared to that of products.
