Question

Consider the following equilibrium:

2NO2g
  
N2O4g
=       ΔG0−5.4kJ

Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 

8.33atm

 of dinitrogen tetroxide 

N2O4

 at 

294.°C

. Answer the following questions about this system:

Under these conditions, will the pressure of 
N2O4
 tend to rise or fall?
 
rise
 
 
fall
 
Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding 
NO2
?
In other words, if you said the pressure of 
N2O4
 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding 
NO2
? Similarly, if you said the pressure of 
N2O4
 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding 
NO2
?
 
yes
 
 
no
 
If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of 
NO2
 needed to reverse it.
Round your answer to 
2
 significant digits.
