Answer

$T=3133 \mathrm{~K}$

Work Step by Step

The stoichiometric and actual reactions can be written as Stoichiometric $\mathrm{O}_2 \Leftrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}$ (thus $v_{\mathrm{O}_2}=1$ and $v_{\mathrm{O}}=2$ ) Actual: $\quad \mathrm{O}_2 \Leftrightarrow \underbrace{0.95 \mathrm{O}_2}_{\text {react. }}+\underbrace{0.10}_{\text {prod. }}$ The equilibrium constant $K_p$ can be determined from $$ K_p=\frac{N_{\mathrm{O}}^{v_0}}{N_{\mathrm{O}_2}^{v_{\mathrm{O}_2}}}\left(\frac{P}{N_{\text {total }}}\right)^{v_0-v_{\mathrm{O}_2}}=\frac{0.1^2}{0.95}\left(\frac{3}{0.95+0.1}\right)^{2-1}=0.03008 $$ From Table A-28, the temperature corresponding to this $K_p$ value is $$ T=3133 \mathrm{~K} $$
