The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the equation \(\alpha = \frac{D - d}{(n - 1)d}\), we need to understand the components involved in this equation and how they relate to the degree of dissociation in a chemical reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Variables**: - \(\alpha\) is the degree of dissociation, which indicates the fraction of the original substance that has dissociated into products. - \(D\) is the vapor density of the gas before dissociation. - \(d\) is the vapor density of the gas after dissociation. - \(n\) is the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the products formed in the reaction. 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: - The equation given is \(\alpha = \frac{D - d}{(n - 1)d}\). - This equation is derived based on the changes in vapor density before and after the dissociation of a substance. 3. **Analyzing the Stoichiometric Coefficients**: - To use this equation, we need to determine the value of \(n\) for the specific reaction we are analyzing. - The value of \(n\) is crucial because it represents how many moles of products are formed from the dissociation of one mole of reactant. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - We will evaluate each option provided (A, B, C, D) to find the correct value of \(n\) that satisfies the equation. - For each option, calculate the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the products. 5. **Calculating for Each Option**: - **Option A**: If the products have stoichiometric coefficients of \( \frac{n}{2} \) and \( \frac{n}{3} \), then \(n = \frac{n}{2} + \frac{n}{3} = \frac{5n}{6}\), which is not equal to \(n\). - **Option B**: If the products have stoichiometric coefficients of \( \frac{n}{3} \) and \( \frac{2n}{3} \), then \(n = \frac{n}{3} + \frac{2n}{3} = 2n\), which is valid. - **Option C**: If the products have stoichiometric coefficients of \( \frac{3n}{4} \), then \(n = \frac{3n}{4}\), which is not equal to \(n\). - **Option D**: If the products have stoichiometric coefficients of \( \frac{n}{2} \) and \( n \), then \(n = \frac{n}{2} + n = \frac{3n}{2}\), which is again not equal to \(n\). 6. **Conclusion**: - The only option that satisfies the equation is **Option B**, where the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients equals \(n\). ### Final Answer: The equation \(\alpha = \frac{D - d}{(n - 1)d}\) is correctly matched for **Option B**.
