Q. Calculate the change in pressure (in atm) when $2$ mole of $NO$ and 16 gram $O _{2}$ in a $6.25$ litre originally at $27^{\circ} C$ react to produce the maximum quantity of $NO _{2}$ possible according to the equation -
$2 NO ( g )+ O _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow 2 NO _{2}( g )$
(Take $R =\frac{1}{12} L atm / mol - K$ )

Equilibrium

Solution:

image
$\Delta n =|2.5-2|=0.5$
Change in pressure
$\Delta P =\frac{\Delta nRT }{ V }=0.5 \times \frac{1}{12} \times \frac{300}{6.25} atm $
$=2\, atm$
