1.

When dinitrogen tetroxide, a colourless gas, decomposes, it will eventually reach a state of equilibrium with its product, nitrogen dioxide, a brown gas. This is shown by the following reversible reaction:

N2O4(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g).

If a sample of pure N2O4 at 25° in an airtight container is placed in a temperature bath at 40°, which of the following will occur once the reaction reaches equilibrium at 40°?

a)

The pressure decreases, then reaches a constant value, since the amounts of product and reactant do not change at equilibrium.

b)

The colour of the system will be a dilute of the colour of pure nitrogen dioxide.

c)

The temperature will fluctuate as product forms and reacts.

d)

The mass of the system will fluctuate, since chemical species are constantly being formed and used up.

0.33 atm; although Kp is large, almost all the H2 will disappear in the same time that only one third of the N2 will.
