Answer

$$[NO] = 3.5 \times 10^{-3} \space M$$

Work Step by Step

1. Calculate the concentrations: $$Molarity(N_2) = \frac{0.20 \space mol}{1.0 \space L} = 0.20 \space M$$ $$Molarity(O_2) = \frac{0.15 \space mol}{1.0 \space L} = 0.15 \space M$$ 2. The exponent of each concentration is equal to its balance coefficient. $$K_C = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[ NO ] ^{ 2 }}{[ N_2 ][ O_2 ]}$$ 3. Solve for the missing concentration: $$ \sqrt[2]{K_C \times [ N_2 ][ O_2 ]}{} = [NO]$$ 4. Evaluate the expression: $$ [NO] = \sqrt[2]{(4.10 \times 10^{-4}) \times {( 0.20 )( 0.15 )}{}}$$ $$[NO] = 3.5 \times 10^{-3} \space M$$
