Question 17
H

Dinitrogen tetroxide is colourless and nitrogen dioxide is dark brown. The pressure on the equilibrium mixture is increased.

N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)\text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}N2​O4​(g)⇌2NO2​(g)

What happens to the colour of the mixture, and why?

[1]
A

It gets darker, because equilibrium shifts towards NO2\text{NO}_2NO2​

B

It gets darker, because equilibrium shifts towards N2O4\text{N}_2\text{O}_4N2​O4​

C

It gets paler, because equilibrium shifts towards NO2\text{NO}_2NO2​

D

It gets paler, because equilibrium shifts towards N2O4\text{N}_2\text{O}_4N2​O4​
