The pollutant NO is formed in diesel engines. The reaction fixes atmospheric nitrogen with oxygen to form NO. The reaction is: N2(g) + O2(g) = 2NO(g). If the equilibrium constant for this reaction at elevated temperatures is 5.60E-11, then what is the partial pressure of NO gas if nitrogen is 1.50 atm and oxygen is 0.500 atm? The units are atmospheres.
N2(g) + O2(g) -----------------> 2NO(g).
1.50 0.500 2x
equilibrium constant Kp = 5.60 x 10^-11
Kp = [2x]^2 / [1.5][0.500]
5.60 x 10^-11 = 4x^2 / 0.75
x = 3.24 x 10^-6
partial pressure of NO = 2x = 2 x 3.24 x 10^-6
= 6.48 x 10^-6 atm
partial pressure of NO = 6.48 x 10^-6 atm

Nitrogen oxide, NO, is a common pollutant produced by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen gas. Since these gases are several major components of air, nitrogen oxide forms when air is heated in furnaces, engines and other high temperature combustion reactions. Given the standard enthalpy of formation for NO (g) = 90.25 kJ / mole and using the absolute entropies shown in the table below, the free energy change for the reaction at 25.00 ºC can be calculated, and equals...
