Be sure to answer all parts. Nitrogen dioxide decomposes according to the reaction 2 NO2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + O2(g) where Kp = 4.48 × 10−13 at a certain temperature. If 0.65 atm of NO2 is added to a container and allowed to come to equilibrium, what are the equilibrium partial pressures of NO(g) and O2(g)?

Partial Pressure of NO = 9.12 x 10^(-5)atm

Partial Pressure of O2 = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

Explanation:

2 NO2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

Now,Kp = 4.48 × 10^(−13)

the initial pressure of NO2 that was added is 0.65 atm.

Now,

Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

Let's say Total pressure is x;

So Partial pressure of (NO) = (1+1)x = 2x

Similarly Partial pressure of O2 = x

Now Kp =[(2x)² (x)] /[0.65]²

Since Kp = 4.48 × 10^(−13)

Thus, 4.48 × 10^(−13) =[(2x)² (x)] /[0.65]²

Multiply both sides by 0.65²

So, 4.48 x 0.65² x 10^(−13) = 2x³

2x³ = 1.899 x 10^(−13)

x³ =[ 1.889 x 10^(−13)] /2

= 0.945 x 10^(−13)

So x = ∛0.945 x 10^(−13) = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

So, Partial Pressure of NO = 2x = 2( 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm) = 9.12 x 10^(-5)atm

Also Partial Pressure of O2 = x = 4.56 x 10^(-5)atm

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
