Q.

At 627°C  and 1 atm SO3  is partially dissociated into SO2 and  O2 by the reaction  SO3(g)SO2(g)+12O2(g)
The density of the equilibrium mixture is 0.925 g L1 . What is the percentage degree of dissociation?(Round off to the nearest integer)
(Use R=0.0821  L  atm  K1 mol1 , Atomic Mass : S = 32, O = 16)

Let the molecular mass of the mixture at equilibrium be  Mmix.
Applying the relation:
Mmix=dRTP=0.925×0.0821×9001=68.348
Molecular mass of  SO3=80
Vapour density of  SO3,  D=802=40
Vapour density of mixture,  d=68.3482=34.174
Let the degree of dissociation be  x.
x=Dd(n1)d=4034.174(341)×34.174=5.826×234.174=0.34
