37.8 g N2O5 was taken in a 1 L reaction vessel and allowed to undergo the following reaction at 500 K
2 N2O5( g)⇌2 N2O4( g)+O2( g)
The total pressure at equilibrium was found to be 18.65 bar.
Then, Kp= _________ ×10−2 [nearest integer]
Assume N2O5 to behave ideally under these conditions.
Given: R=0.082 bar Lmol−1 K−1
