Consider the following elementary reaction:

N2O(g) N2(g) O(g)
Suppose we let stand for the rate constant of this reaction, and stand for the rate constant of the reverse reaction. Write an expression that gives the equilibrium concentration of in terms of O and the equilibrium concentrations of N20 and N2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as;

N2O(g) ⇄ N2(g) + O(g)

k₁ = Forward reaction

k₋₁ = Reverse Reaction

Equilibrium concentration (K) = k₁ / k₋₁


K = ([N2O] )/([N2] [ O])
