Equilibrium Concentration of NO in N2/O2 Mixture at 2000 K

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the equilibrium concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in a mixture of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) at 2000 K, given the reaction N2 + O2 = 2NO with an equilibrium constant of 4.0 × 10^-4. Participants emphasize the need for a clear presentation of the problem and an attempt at a solution to facilitate better assistance. The focus is on converting the equilibrium concentration into parts per million (ppm) based on the initial amounts of reactants, which are 10 moles of N2 and 1 mole of O2. Clarification on whether the provided value is an equilibrium constant is also sought. The discussion highlights the importance of structured problem-solving in chemistry.

Considering the following N2+ O2= 2NO at 2000 K is 4.0 × 10-4. Consider an initial mixure of 10 moles of N2 and and one mole of O2.

How do I find the concentration of NO in the equilibrium mixture in ppm?

thank you:confused:

4.0 × 10-4
What is this? An equilibrium constant? You need to present the question clearly and show your attempt at solving it.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
