Solution
1
Identify the reaction: The given reaction is the formation of NO from O2_2 and N2_2 in air at 0.01 atm and 3000 K. The reaction can be written as: O2+3.76 N2xNO+(1x2)O2+(3.76x2)N2 \mathrm{O}_{2} + 3.76 \mathrm{~N}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{xNO} + (1 - \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}) \mathrm{O}_{2} + (3.76 - \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}) \mathrm{N}_{2}
2
Determine the equilibrium constant (K): At high temperatures, the equilibrium constant for the formation of NO can be approximated using the van't Hoff equation. For simplicity, we assume the equilibrium constant KK is known or can be found in tables for the given temperature (3000 K)
3
Set up the equilibrium expression: The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is: K=[NO]2[O2][N2]3.76 K = \frac{[\mathrm{NO}]^2}{[\mathrm{O}_2][\mathrm{N}_2]^3.76} Given the partial pressures at equilibrium, we can express the concentrations in terms of xx: [NO]=xV,[O2]=1x2V,[N2]=3.76x2V [\mathrm{NO}] = \frac{x}{V}, \quad [\mathrm{O}_2] = \frac{1 - \frac{x}{2}}{V}, \quad [\mathrm{N}_2] = \frac{3.76 - \frac{x}{2}}{V} where VV is the volume of the chamber
4
Solve for x: Substitute these expressions into the equilibrium constant equation and solve for xx: K=(xV)2(1x2V)(3.76x2V)3.76 K = \frac{\left(\frac{x}{V}\right)^2}{\left(\frac{1 - \frac{x}{2}}{V}\right)\left(\frac{3.76 - \frac{x}{2}}{V}\right)^{3.76}} Simplify and solve for xx: K=x2(1x2)(3.76x2)3.76 K = \frac{x^2}{(1 - \frac{x}{2})(3.76 - \frac{x}{2})^{3.76}} This equation can be solved numerically to find the value of xx
Answer
The conversion ratio of NO at chemical equilibrium state is determined by solving the equilibrium constant expression for xx.
Key Concept
The equilibrium constant expression relates the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium.
Explanation
By setting up the equilibrium constant expression and solving for the unknown xx, we can determine the conversion ratio of NO in the given conditions.
