When allowed to stand, nitrogen dioxide reaches dynamic equilibrium with dinitrogen tetroxide. according to the equation:
2 NO2(g) = N204(g) H = -57.20 kJ mol¯¹
What is the effect on the equilibrium position when:
(a) the pressure is increased?
(b) the temperature is increased?
(c) a catalyst is added?

Answer:
a) Forward reaction will favour
b)Backward reaction will favour
c) Catalyst will not affect equilibrium.It just helps to reach equilibrium faster
Explanation:
a)Acc to le chatelier principle increase in pressure result in increase of yield of substance with lower volume of gas.
b) The above reaction is exothermic. Acc to le chatelier principle with increase of temperature of any exothermic reaction, extent of forward reaction decrease and that of backward increase.
