The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the density of the equilibrium mixture of \( N_2O_4 \) and \( NO_2 \) after 20% of \( N_2O_4 \) has dissociated, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the initial moles of \( N_2O_4 \) Assume we start with 1 mole of \( N_2O_4 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the amount of \( N_2O_4 \) that dissociates Since 20% of \( N_2O_4 \) is dissociated: \[ \text{Dissociated } N_2O_4 = 0.2 \text{ moles} \] Remaining \( N_2O_4 \): \[ \text{Remaining } N_2O_4 = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the moles of \( NO_2 \) produced From the dissociation reaction: \[ N_2O_4 \rightleftharpoons 2 NO_2 \] For every mole of \( N_2O_4 \) that dissociates, 2 moles of \( NO_2 \) are produced. Therefore, from 0.2 moles of \( N_2O_4 \) dissociating: \[ \text{Moles of } NO_2 = 2 \times 0.2 = 0.4 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total moles at equilibrium Total moles at equilibrium: \[ \text{Total moles} = \text{Remaining } N_2O_4 + \text{Moles of } NO_2 = 0.8 + 0.4 = 1.2 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the average molecular weight of the mixture The molecular weight of \( N_2O_4 \) is 92 g/mol and for \( NO_2 \) it is 46 g/mol. Now, we calculate the total mass of the mixture: \[ \text{Mass of } N_2O_4 = 0.8 \text{ moles} \times 92 \text{ g/mol} = 73.6 \text{ g} \] \[ \text{Mass of } NO_2 = 0.4 \text{ moles} \times 46 \text{ g/mol} = 18.4 \text{ g} \] \[ \text{Total mass} = 73.6 \text{ g} + 18.4 \text{ g} = 92 \text{ g} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the average molecular weight of the mixture \[ \text{Molecular weight of mixture} = \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Total moles}} = \frac{92 \text{ g}}{1.2 \text{ moles}} = 76.67 \text{ g/mol} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the density of the equilibrium mixture Using the ideal gas law, the density \( d \) can be calculated using: \[ d = \frac{PM}{RT} \] Where: - \( P = 1 \text{ atm} \) - \( M = 76.67 \text{ g/mol} \) - \( R = 0.0821 \text{ L atm/(K mol)} \) - \( T = 27^\circ C = 300 \text{ K} \) Substituting the values: \[ d = \frac{1 \text{ atm} \times 76.67 \text{ g/mol}}{0.0821 \text{ L atm/(K mol)} \times 300 \text{ K}} \] \[ d = \frac{76.67}{24.63} \approx 3.11 \text{ g/L} \] ### Final Answer The density of the equilibrium mixture is approximately **3.11 g/L**.
