N2O4 ↔ 2NO2

The following system react as below when increase in pressure occurs

The equilibrium will shift towards the left (more N2O4 is produced)

Explanation

When pressure increases the equilibrium shift toward the side of reaction with fewer moles of gas.

In the reaction of N2O4 ↔ 2 NO2 there is only 1 moles of N2O4 and 2 moles of NO2.

Therefore increase in pressure led to shift of equilibrium towards the left. ( more N2O4 is produced)

If an atom has 6 valence electrons, how many electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration?

shusha [124]

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.50 L with 3.00 moles of gas at 25 °C. With pressure and temperature held constant, what wil

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Volume : 1.25 L

Explanation:

We are given here that the volume ( V $_1$ ) = 1.50 Liters, the initial moles ( held at 25 °C ) = 3.00 mol, and the final moles ( n $_2$ ) = 3.00 - 0.5 = 2.5 mol. The final mol is calculated given that 0.50 mol of gas are released from the prior 3.00 moles of gas.

Volume ( V $_1$ ) = 1.50 L,

Initial moles ( n $_1$ ) = 3.00 mol,

Final Volume ( n $_2$ ) = 3.00 - 0.5 = 2.5 mol

Applying the combined gas law, we can calculate the final volume ( V $_2$ ).

P $_1$ V $_1$ / n $_1$ T $_1$ = P $_2$ V $_2$ / n $_2$ T $_2$ - we know that the pressure and temperature are constant, and therefore we can apply the following formula,

V $_1$ / n $_1$ = V $_2$ / n $_2$ - isolate V $_2$ ,

V $_2$ = V $_1$ n $_2$ / n $_1$ = 1.50 L $*$ 2.5 mol / 3.00 mol = ( 1.5 $*$ 2.5 / 3 ) L = 1.25 L
