Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) → 2NOCI (g) AGO = -41. KJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 7.97 atm of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and 9.76 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOCI) at 1094. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCI tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding Cl₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding Cl₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding Cl₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of Cl, needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. rise O fall O yes O no atm Ox X

Answer the following questions about the system given the chemical reaction below. 

## Equilibrium Analysis

Consider the following equilibrium reaction:

\[
2 \text{NO (g)} + \text{Cl}_2 \text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{NOCl (g)} \quad \Delta G^0 = -41. \text{kJ}
\]

A reaction vessel is filled with 7.97 atm of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and 9.76 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) at 1094°C. Analyze the system with the following questions:

### Questions to Consider:

1. **Tendency of NOCl Pressure:**
   - Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCl tend to rise or fall?
     - [X] rise
     - [ ] fall

2. **Reversal with Cl₂ Addition:**
   - Is reversing this tendency possible by adding Cl₂?
     - In other words, if the pressure of NOCl tends to rise, can it be changed to a fall by adding Cl₂? Conversely, if NOCl tends to fall, can it be reversed to rise by adding Cl₂?
     - [ ] yes
     - [X] no

3. **Calculation (if applicable):**
   - If you determined that the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of Cl₂ needed to reverse it. (Round your answer to 2 significant digits.)
   - \[ \boxed{\phantom{0} } \text{ atm} \]

### Checkbox Legend:
- Small checkbox, unchecked.
- Circle checkbox as selected in "rise" for the tendency of NOCl to rise.
- Small "x" and reload icon indicating calculation options (irrelevant to the transcription focus).
