The correct Answer is:
To determine the most stable oxides of nitrogen from the given options (NO2, N2O5, NO, and N2O), we will analyze the equilibrium constants provided for their respective reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Equilibrium Constant (K)**: The equilibrium constant (K) indicates the extent of a reaction at equilibrium. A higher K value suggests that the products are favored, while a lower K value indicates that the reactants are favored. 2. **Given Equilibrium Constants**: - For NO2: K = 6.7 × 10^16 - For N2O5: K = 1.2 × 10^-24 - For NO: K = 2.2 × 10^30 - For N2O: K = 3.5 × 10^33 3. **Analyzing the Values**: To find the most stable oxide, we need to look for the oxide with the lowest equilibrium constant because stability is inversely proportional to the equilibrium constant. 4. **Comparing the K Values**: - NO2 has K = 6.7 × 10^16 (high) - N2O5 has K = 1.2 × 10^-24 (very low) - NO has K = 2.2 × 10^30 (very high) - N2O has K = 3.5 × 10^33 (very high) 5. **Identifying the Most Stable Oxide**: Among the given oxides, N2O5 has the lowest equilibrium constant (K = 1.2 × 10^-24). Therefore, it is the most stable oxide of nitrogen. ### Conclusion: The most stable oxide of nitrogen is **N2O5**. ---
