Detailed Solution

 It is given to find out the percent dissociation.

N2O4(g)2NO2g

 KcNO22N2O4

 

Initial:              

1

Change:         

-0.2

+0.2

+0.2

At equilibrium

1-0.2

+0.2

+0.2

 

Kc0.221-0.2 = 0.5

Now original pressure is made 10% of the earlier, P = 10% of 1 atm

10100 = 0.1

N2O4(g)2NO2g

Initial:              

0.1

Change:

+α

+α

At equilibrium

0.1- α

+α

+α

 

Kc = 0.5

0.5 = (α)20.1-α

0.05 – 0.5α = α2

α2 + 0.5α - 0.05 = 0

On solving we get α = 0.2 that is 0.2 ×100= 20%

Hence, the answer is 20%.
