Dinitrogen tetroxide breaks down into nitrogen dioxide in a reversible reaction.
N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g) \mathrm{N_{2}O_{4}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2}(g)} N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)A model of a sealed flask contains 100 molecules of N2O4\mathrm{N_{2}O_{4}}N2O4 and nothing else. When the mixture reaches equilibrium, 60 molecules of N2O4\mathrm{N_{2}O_{4}}N2O4 are left.
What is the total number of molecules in the flask at equilibrium?
