A reversible reaction achieves equilibri...

A reversible reaction achieves equilibrium when the rates of forward and backward reactions equal. At equilibrium, the ratio of product of molar concentrations of prodcuts and the prodcut of molar concentration of reactants each raised to the powers equal to their stoichiometric coefficients, becomes constant. In case of gaseous reactios, the partial pressure of gases may be used in place of their molar concentrations.
The equilibrium partial pressure of `N_(2)O_(4)(g)` and `NO_(2)(g)` are 4 and 2 atmm, respectively. Now, at constant temperature the pressure of system is increased to 60 atm. The new equilibrium partial pressure of `N_(2)O_(4)`(g) becomes.
