Question

What does Le Châtelier's principle predict would happen to the equilibrium conditions if N₂O₄

a) Increases in concentration?
b) Decreases in concentration?
c) Is heated?
d) Is cooled?

Answer 1

Le Châtelier's principle predicts how changes in concentration and temperature affect the equilibrium conditions of the N₂O₄ and NO₂ reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle predicts the following effects on the equilibrium conditions:

a) If the concentration of N₂O₄ increases, the equilibrium will shift to the left, favoring the formation of more N₂O₄.

b) If the concentration of N₂O₄ decreases, the equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the formation of more NO₂.

c) If N₂O₄ is heated, the equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the formation of more NO₂.

d) If N₂O₄ is cooled, the equilibrium will shift to the left, favoring the formation of more N₂O₄.
