Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction
To determine: Greenhouse effect
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1E
Solution: Greenhouse effect is the entrapment of the sun’s radiation on the planet Earth without letting it escape to the earth’s atmosphere.
Explanation of Solution
Gases in the earth atmosphere such as CO2 traps the suns radiation emitted from the planet’s surface. The infrared radiation gets trapped in the earth thus increasing the earth’s temperature. Greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming.
Conclusion
Greenhouse effect is the entrapment of sun’s infrared rays on Earth’s surface.

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.
