Answer:
This reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.
Explanation:
2NO₂ (g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g)
Reactant => NO₂ (dark brown in color)
Product => N₂O₄ (colorless)
From the question given above, we were told that when the reaction at equilibrium was moved from room temperature to a higher temperature, the mixture turned dark brown in color.
This simply means that the reaction does not like heat. Hence the reaction is exothermic reaction.
Also, we can see that when the temperature was increased, the reaction turned dark brown in color indicating that the increase in the temperature favors the backward reaction (i.e the equilibrium shift to the left) as NO₂ which is the reactant is dark brown in color. This again indicates that the reaction is exothermic because an increase in the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the left.
Therefore, we can conclude that:
The reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.
It is really easy if you look up an electron configuration table (one that looks like a periodic table) and then just go down the rows left to right, top to bottom, and just stop when you get to where the element is on the table.
Divide mass by the volume to find density.
