Nitrogen tetroxide, N₂O4, is a colorless gas that dissociates to form a brown gas, nitrogen dioxide, NO2, according to the following equilibrium equation: N₂O4(g) NO2(g) The forward reaction is exothermic. What would happen if the reaction is heated? a) The N₂O4 gas concentration decreases as temperature increases. Ob) The N₂O4 gas is colorless. As a result, it is impossible to know how the concentration of it changes with temperature. Oc) The N₂04 gas concentration increases as temperature increases.

How does equilibrium represent the balancing of opposing processes? Give an example of an “equilibrium” encountered in everyday life, showing how the processes involved oppose each other.
Consider the reaction 2N2O(g) + O2(g) 4NO(g) Suppose the system is at equilibrium, and then an additional mole of N2O(g) is injected into the system at constant temperature. Once the reaction reestablishes equilibrium, has the amount of N2O increased or decreased from its original equilibrium amount? Explain. What happens to the value of the equilibrium constant with this change?
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?

Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), which is more important in determining the position of this equilibrium, the entropy effect or the energy effect? In which direction will the equilibrium shift as the temperature increases above 200. °C? Explain. Suppose that the pressure were increased to triple its initial value. In which direction would the equilibrium shift? Why is the equilibrium not established at room temperature?
