Since the enthalpy change for the reaction is positive (+49 kJ/mol), this indicates that the reaction is endothermic. This means that the products have a higher energy content than the reactants.
Given the equilibrium constant Kc of 0.001, this suggests that the equilibrium lies more towards the reactants side. This means that the reaction will not proceed significantly in the forward direction.
Therefore, most of the nitrogen monoxide and oxygen will remain unreacted in the container, with only a small amount of nitrogen dioxide being formed. The reaction will not go to completion and the equilibrium will be shifted towards the reactants side.
In a chemical reaction,4 mol of nitrogen monoxide(NO) and 2.5mol of Oxygen(O2) are being mixed togethere in a container with a volume of 1L to produce Nitrogen dioxide (NO2).If the Kc(Equilibrium constant) for this reaction in 0.001.
If the enthalpy of the above reaction is +49kJ/mol than predict the outcome of the reaction.
