Question: Nitrogen dioxide ( N O 2 ) exists in equilibrium with its dimer ( N 2 O 4 ) according to 2 N O 2

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exists in equilibrium with its dimer (N2O4) according to
2NO2N2O4
This reaction has an equilibrium constant Keq of 6.1510-6ppm-1 at 298K. If the total concentration of NO2+N2O4 in a power plant plume is measured to be 4000ppm, what is the actual concentration of NO2 in the plume?
3. You are monitoring air quality for your city and around noontime you measure NO2 and NO concentration of 50 and 5ppb, respectively. Neglecting hydrocarbons and assuming the concentrations of NO2 and NO are controlled by:
NO2+hvNO+O
O+O2O3
NO+O3NO2+O2
where the reaction rate ka=0.0027s-1 and kc=1.5310-14cm3molecule-1s-1. From this, please estimate the steady-state concentration of ozone (in ppb). Keep two significant figures in the answer. The molar volume is 23.6Lmol.
