Question 8

When pale yellow dinitrogen tetroxide gas (N2O4\text{N}_2\text{O}_4N2​O4​) is sealed in a tube, it decomposes to form dark brown nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2\text{NO}_2NO2​), eventually establishing a dynamic equilibrium.

Use words from the box to complete the sentences about this equilibrium. Each word may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

closed | constant | equal | increasing | open | reversible
