Consider the following reaction. 2 NO₂(g) = N₂O4(g) When the system is at equilibrium, it contains NO₂ at a pressure of 0.860 atm, and N₂O4 at a pressure of 0.0740 atm. The volume of the container is then reduced to half its original volume. What is the pressure of each gas after equilibrium is reestablished? atm PNO₂ atm PN₂04

### Chemical Equilibrium Example

Consider the following reaction:

\[ 2NO_2(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2O_4(g) \]

When the system is at equilibrium, it contains \(NO_2\) at a pressure of 0.860 atm, and \(N_2O_4\) at a pressure of 0.0740 atm. The volume of the container is then reduced to half its original volume. What is the pressure of each gas after equilibrium is reestablished?

\[
P_{NO_2} = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{ atm}
\]

\[
P_{N_2O_4} = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{ atm}
\]
