Question: 1 . ( a ) Construct a stoichiometric table in terms of partial pressures ( Pi ) for the gas phase decomposition of nitrosyl chloride

1.(a) Construct a stoichiometric table in terms of partial pressures (Pi) for the gas phase decomposition of nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) to nitric oxide (NO) and chlorine (Cl2) in a constant-volume batch reactor based on the following initial conditions : PNOCl, 0=0.5 bar, PCl2,0=0.1 bar, and (inert) PN2,0=0.4 bar.(b) If the reaction proceeds to 50% completion at a constant temperature, what is the total pressure (P) in the vessel?(c) If the temperature changes as the reaction proceeds, can the table be constructed in terms of moles? Molar concentrations? Partial pressures? Explain.(d) If instead the total pressure is kept constant at 1.0 bar and the temperature constant at 400 K, determine the concentration of NO for a 50% conversion.
