The equilibrium concentration of NO in the reaction N2 + O2 = 2NO can be determined using the equilibrium constant expression based on partial pressures. Given 10 moles of N2 and 1 mole of O2, the initial concentrations must be calculated before applying the equilibrium constant formula. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for this reaction is defined as Kp = (P_NO^2) / (P_N2 * P_O2), where P represents the partial pressures of the gases involved. Accurate calculations will yield the equilibrium concentration of NO in parts per million (ppm).

I am having trouble figuring out the equillibrium equation in ppm for the following reaction N2 + O2 = 2NO. With 10 moles of N2 and 1 mole of O2. I am having trouble figuring out how to start this problem. Can anyone give me a hint...it has been years since i tried this.
