For the reactionn2(g)+o2(g)? 2no(g)classify each of the following actions by whether it causes a leftward shift, a rightward shift, or no shift in the direction of the reaction. a) half oxygenb) double oxygenc) double nitrogend) half nitrogene) double nitrogen monoxidef) half nitrogen monoxide

Le Chatleir Principle

Explanation:  The answer of this question can be easily explanied through the Le Chatleir Principle which states that In order to maintain the equilibrium of the reaction, the stress applied to that particular direction will move the equilibrium to the opposite direction in which the stress has been applied.

The given reaction is -

If the amount of the oxygen is reduced to half and is being doubled, then the reaction will move in froward direction that is a rightward shift. Same situation will arise in option c and d.

If the amount of nitrogen monoxide is reduced to half or being doubled, the reaction will move towards backward direction that is a leftward reaction.

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm

the product of the pressure and volume is also constant
