Initial Concentration, mol/L | 1 | 0 |
Change | -x | +2x |
Equilibrium Concentration, mol/L | 1-x | 2x |
Hence,
Since, x is a concentration, it cannot be negative. Hence x = 0.437.
Hence, the degree of dissociation or the fraction of
moles of

b)
Average molecular weight = mole fraction of
* molar mass of
+ mole fraction of
* molar mass of
Molar mass of

Hence, average molecular weight is
Hence, the average molecular weight of the reaction mixture is 64.032 gm/mol.
c) Since the gas obeys ideal gas laws
for the mixture of gas.
Now substituting
Where m = mass of the gas mixture and Mm is molar mass of the gas mixture.
Replace

We know,
Hence,
total pressure of the gas is
hence, the total pressure of the gas is 2.15 atm.
