Question
Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.6WE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The density of the gas should be calculated with giving the appropriate significant figure.
Concept Introduction:
Density: The density of the substance is calculated using the formula:
For the given set of calculations the significant figures and their correct measurement has to be given.
Significant figures: The digits having a meaning in a given number are called as significant figures.
Significant figures –calculation rules
- Significant figure is a non-zero number (4443.2 has five significant figures)
- Zeros placement in between non-zero number are significant figures (40005 has five significant figures).
- Zeros before the non-zero number are not significant number (0.00040005 has five significant figures).
- Zeros after the non-zero number are significant in case of that number contains decimal point (4.5000 has five significant figures).
- Zeros after the non-zero number may or may not be a significant figure in case of that number does not have a decimal point (500 may have 1, 2 or 3 significant figures). In this cases use scientific notation to avoid ambiguity.

Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition
Consider the following equilibrium:
2NO2 (g) = N2O4(g)
AGº = -5.4 kJ
Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 4.53 atm of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) at 279. °C. Answer the following questions about this system:
Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2O4 tend to rise or 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
'2'
rise by adding NO2?
If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate
the minimum pressure of NO 2 needed to reverse it.
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If there will be no products because there will be no significant reaction, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.
