A reaction container contains 10.7 atm of both N2 and O2 and 5.97 atm of NO. What is the pressure of NO once equilibrium is established? Kp = 2.4 x 10-2
N2 (g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO (g)

N2 (g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2 NO (g)
I 10.7 10.7 5.97
C +x +x -2x
E 10.7+x 10.7+x 5.97-2x
Kp = PNO^2/PN2PO2
2.4*10^-2 = (5.97-2x)^2/(10.7+x) *(10.7+x)
2.4*10^-2 = [(5.97-2x)/(10.7+x)]^2
0.155 = (5.97-2x)/(10.7+x)
0.155*(10.7+x) = (5.97-2x)
x = 2
PN2 = 10.7 +x = 10.7+2 = 12.7atm
PN2 = 10.7 +x = 10.7+2 = 12.7atm
[NO] = 5.97-2x = 5.97-2*2 = 1.97atm
