1. An equilibrium reaction is shown.

N2O4(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g)
The forward reaction is endothermic.

What is the effect of changing the temperature and pressure on the equilibrium position?

increasing temperature increasing pressure HeLp Me

Since the forward reaction is
A moves to the left moves to the left endothermic, an increase in
temperature shifts the equilibrium to the
B moves to the left moves to the right right (absorbing heat). TINEN

C moves to the right moves to the left Increasing pressure causes the
equilibria to shift to side with LESS gas
particles (moles) i.e to the LEFT.
D moves to the right moves to the right

The forward reaction is exothermic.

Which statement about the reaction is correct?

A If the gas syringe is placed in a cold-water bath, the colour becomes darker.
B If the gas syringe is placed in a hot water bath, the colour becomes lighter.
C If the volume in the gas syringe is increased, the colour becomes lighter.
D If the volume in the gas syringe is decreased, the colour becomes lighter.

HeLp Me
Since the forward reaction is exothermic, a decrease in temperature (cold – water bath)
shifts the equilibrium to the RIGHT (exothermic or releasing heat).  a more pale yellow is
seen.  A is wrong
Since the forward reaction is exothermic, an increase in temperature (hot water bath)
shifts the equilibrium to the LEFT (endothermic or absorbing heat). TINEN  a more dark
brown colour is seen.
 B is wrong
Increasing volume (decreasing pressure) causes the equilibria to shift to side with MORE
