Answer:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. ... So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen. The intrusion (D) cuts through the three sedimentary rock layers, so it must be younger than those layers

In the reaction N2O4(g) 2NO2(g), what changes in color would you expect as pressure is increased at constant temperature?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Brown color of the solution decreases

Explanation:

$NO_2$ is brown in color whereas $N_2O_4$ is colorless.

Equilibrium reaction between $NO_2$ and $N_2O_4$ is as follows:

$2NO_2\leftrightharpoons N_2O_4$

As per the Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure of a equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction having fewer no. of moles of gases.

In the given equilibrium, $NO_2$ side has more no. of moles. So on increasing pressure, equilibrium will shift towards the side of $N_2O_4$ or more formation of $N_2O_4$ will take place.

Therefore, more $NO_2$ will decompose that will decrease the brown color of the solution as $N_2O_4$ is colorless.
