Question

An equilibrium mixture contains N2O4, (P= 0.30 atm ) and NO2 (P= 1.0 atm) at 350 K. The volume of the container is doubled at constant temperature.

a) Calculate the equilibrium pressure of N2O4 when the system reaches a new equilibrium

b) Calculate the equilibrium pressure of NO2 when the system reaches a new equilibrium.

 
Expert Solution
Step 1

Le chatliers Principle:

As pressure decreases, equilibrium will shift to the side accompanied by an increase in the number of moles i.e. forward direction.

Boyle's Law: WIth an increase in pressure, the volume will decrease. There is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume.
