neq N2O4 = 0.9795 mol ... P = 0.5 atm; T = 25°C

Explanation:

ni change eq.

N2O4 1 1 - x 0.8154 ... P = 1 atm; T = 25°C

NO2 0 0 + x x

∴ x = neq = Peq. V / R. T ... ideal gas mix

if P = 0.5 atm, T = 25°C; assuming: V = 1 L

⇒ x = neq = ((0.5 atm) (1 L)) / ((0.082 atm. L/K. mol) (298 K))

⇒ x = neq = 0.0205 mol

⇒ neq N2O4 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.0205 = 0.9795 mol
