JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 6.1. Equilibrium - 1 (chemical Equilibrium)

The gas phase reaction \(2NO_2(g) \rightleftharpoons   N_2O_4 (g)\) is an exothermic reaction. The decomposition of \(N_2O_4,\) in equilibrium mixutre of  \(NO_2(g)\)  and \(N_2O_4(g),\) can be increased by

  1. A addition of an inert gas at constant pressure
  2. B lowering the temperature
  3. C increasing the pressure
  4. D addition of an inert gas at constant volume
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) addition of an inert gas at constant pressure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reaction at equilibirium \({N_2}{O_4}\, \rightleftharpoons \,2N{O_2}\) According to Le chatelier's principle- \((a)\) addition of an inert gas at constant pressure will increase volume and equilibirium shifts towards more number of molecules. \((b)\) Decomposition of \(N_2O_4\)…
