Suppose a 500.mL flask is filled with 0.40mol of N2 and 1.0mol of NO. The following reaction becomes possible: N2g+O2g ->2NOg
The equilibrium constant K for this reaction is 5.93 at the temperature of the flask. Calculate the equilibrium molarity of N2. Round your answer to two decimal places.

[N₂] = 1.1M

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 NO(g)

Equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = 5.93 = [NO]² / [N₂] [O₂]

Where [] are equilibrium concentrations of each specie

As initial concentrations are:

N₂ = 0.40mol / 0.500L = 0.8M

NO = 1mol / 0.500L = 2M

The equilbrium concentrations are:

[NO] = 2M - 2X

[N₂] = 0.8M +X

[O₂] = X

Replacing:

5.93 = [2 - 2X]² / [0.8+X] [X]

5.93 = 4 - 8X + 4X² / 0.8X + X²

4.744X + 5.93X² = 4 - 8X + 4X²

1.93X² + 12.744X - 4 = 0

Solving for X:

X = -6.9M → False solution. There are no negative concentrations

X = 0.3M. Real solution.

[N₂] in equilibrium is:

[N₂] = 0.8M +0.3M

[N₂] = 1.1M

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.

thats how its supposed to be
