The reaction represented by the following equation is a reversible process. N2O4(g)➡️⬅️2NO2(g)If you were to allow 1 mol of NO2 to react in a sealed container for some time, what would you expect to find in the container?NO2 onlyN2O4 onlyNothing, the vessel would be emptySome N2O4 and some NO2

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction:

N2O4(g) <=> 2NO2(g)

Inicially 0 [1 mol/Volume]

Reacts +x -2x

Equilibrium +x [1 mol/Volume]-2x

[1 mol/Volume] means molarity

In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which the forward reaction rate and the reverse reaction rate are equal. The result of this equilibrium is that the concentrations of the reactants and the products do not change.

Therefore, the answer: Some N2O4 and some NO2
