Question 9

Nitric oxide reacts with Br2 and gives nitrosyl bromide as per reaction given below:

2NO (g) + Br2 (g) 2NOBr (g)

When 0.087 mol of NO and 0.0437 mol of Br2 are mixed in a closed container at constant temperature, 0.0518 mol of NOBr is obtained at equilibrium. Calculate equilibrium amount of NO and Br2 .

Answer

The given reaction is:

2NO (g)         +           Br2 (g)                 2NOBr (g)

2 mol                         1 mol                        2 mol    

Now, 2 mol of NOBr are formed from 2 mol of NO. Therefore, 0.0518 mol of NOBr are formed from 0.0518 mol of NO.

Again, 2 mol of NOBr are formed from 1 mol of Br.

Therefore, 0.0518 mol of NOBr are formed from 0.0518/2 mol of Br, or 0.0259 mol of NO.

The amount of NO and Br present initially is as follows:

[NO] = 0.087 mol [Br2] = 0.0437 mol

Therefore, the amount of NO present at equilibrium is: [NO] = 0.087 - 0.0518 = 0.0352 mol

And, the amount of Br present at equilibrium is: [Br2] = 0.0437-0.0259 = 0.0178 mol
