k = [product]^n/[reactant].
A = 2B
2 ----------- 0
2-x ----------- 2x
And total no of moles = 2x+2-x = 2+x.
K=(2x/2+x)^2/[(2-x)/(2+x)] put the value of k solved the equation.
x=.2238.
No of moles formed = 2* x = .4476.
So, option (B) is correct.
A = 2B
2 ----------- 0
2-x ----------- 2x
And total no of moles = 2x+2-x = 2+x.
K=(2x/2+x)^2/[(2-x)/(2+x)] put the value of k solved the equation.
x=.2238.
No of moles formed = 2* x = .4476.
So, option (B) is correct.

Formula for equilibrium conversion vs equilibrium constant is: X eq = K/1+K, where K is equilibrium constant.
