The document discusses how changing different conditions affects the equilibrium of the reaction of N2O4(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g). It states that increasing the concentration of N2O4, decreasing the concentration of NO2, increasing the pressure by adding N2(g), increasing the volume, or decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right. It also discusses how the conditions of adding water vapor, increasing the volume, or removing O2(g) will shift the equilibrium of the reaction 2H2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2H2O(g) to the right, while increasing the temperature will shift it to the left.

1.
a. N2O4 is added:
Adding more N2O4 will increase its concentration. According to Le Chatelier’s Principle, the
system will respond by shifting the equilibrium to the right to consume some of the added N2O4.
Therefore, the equilibrium will shift to the right.
b. NO2 is removed:
Removing NO2 will decrease its concentration. To compensate for the loss of NO2, the
equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more NO2. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift to
the right.
c. The pressure is increased by the addition of N2(g):
Increasing the pressure will favor the side with fewer moles of gas to reduce the pressure. In
this case, since N2O4 has one mole of gas and 2NO2 has two moles of gas, increasing the
pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right to decrease the total moles of gas. Therefore, the
equilibrium will shift to the right.
d. The volume is increased:
Increasing the volume will favor the side with more moles of gas to occupy the extra volume.
Since 2NO2 has two moles of gas compared to one mole of N2O4, the equilibrium will shift to
the right to increase the total moles of gas and occupy the extra volume. Therefore, the
equilibrium will shift to the right.
e. The temperature is decreased:
The reaction is exothermic because the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive. Decreasing the
temperature will favor the exothermic reaction to produce more heat. Therefore, the equilibrium
will shift to the right.
In summary:
 a. N2O4 is added: Equilibrium shifts to the right.
 b. NO2 is removed: Equilibrium shifts to the right.
 c.The pressure is increased by the addition of N2(g): Equilibrium shifts to the right.
 d. The volume is increased: Equilibrium shifts to the right.
 e. The temperature is decreased: Equilibrium shifts to the right.

2.
a. Adding more water vapor: This change will shift the equilibrium to the right, as water vapor
is a product of the reaction.
b. Increasing the temperature: This change will shift the equilibrium to the left, as the reaction
is exothermic, and increasing the temperature favors the reactants.
c. Increasing the volume of the reaction vessel: This change will shift the equilibrium to the
right, as increasing the volume favors the side with more moles of gas, which is the product
side in this case.
d. Removing O2(g): This change will shift the equilibrium to the right, as it decreases the
concentration of a reactant, favoring the forward reaction.
e. Adding 1 atm of Ne(g) to the reaction vessel: This change will not shift the equilibrium, as
Ne(g) is inert and does not participate in the reaction.
So, the changes that will shift the equilibrium to the right are:
 Adding more water vapor
 Increasing the volume of the reaction vessel
 Removing O2(g)
