Expert Solution
Step 1

(b) The nitrogen dioxide synthesis takes places as the following reaction.

N2(g)+2O2(g)2NO2(g)

The reaction takes in rigid vessel indicating that volume of the container remains constant implying that volume of the gas is also constant. Also it is mentioned that the temperature of the gas is constant.

In an ideal gas equation PV nT, that is the product of pressure and volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of moles and temperature of the gas. So, when volume and temperature are constant, the pressure of the gas will be directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas.

Here, according to the reaction stoichiometry,  in the reactant side, there is 1 mole of N2 and 2 moles of O2. Therefore, there are 3 moles of gas.  In the product side, there is 2 moles of NO2. Therefore, 3moles of reactants in gas phase produces 2 moles of products in gas phase. There is a decrease in the number of moles as the reaction proceeds. This implies that pressure of the reaction will also decrease as the reaction proceeds.
