Question

Upon increase in pressure for dissociation N2O₄ into NO₂, equilibrium shift towards

Options

• forward direction

• backward direction

• no change

• first in forward direction then in backward direction

Answer 1

backward direction

Explanation:

\[\ce{N2O4 (g) ⇌ 2NO2 (g)}\]

When the pressure for the above reaction is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas.
