The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the decomposition of \( N_2O_4 \) and how to encourage this reaction according to Le Chatelier's principle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The given equilibrium reaction is: \[ N_2O_4 (g) \rightleftharpoons 2 NO_2 (g) \] with \( \Delta H = +ve \), indicating that the reaction is endothermic (absorbs heat). 2. **Understand Le Chatelier's Principle**: According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a change (stress) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust to counteract that change and establish a new equilibrium. 3. **Analyze the Effects of Changes**: - **Change in Concentration**: - To encourage the forward reaction (decomposition of \( N_2O_4 \)), we can increase the concentration of \( N_2O_4 \). This will shift the equilibrium to the right to consume the added reactant. - **Change in Temperature**: - Since the reaction is endothermic, increasing the temperature will favor the forward reaction. The system will absorb the added heat, promoting the formation of \( NO_2 \). - **Change in Pressure**: - In the forward reaction, the number of moles of gas increases (from 1 mole of \( N_2O_4 \) to 2 moles of \( NO_2 \)). According to Le Chatelier's principle, decreasing the pressure will favor the side with more moles of gas, which in this case is the right side (products). 4. **Conclusion**: - To encourage the decomposition of \( N_2O_4 \), the following conditions should be applied: - Increase the concentration of \( N_2O_4 \). - Increase the temperature. - Decrease the pressure. ### Final Answer: The decomposition of \( N_2O_4 \) can be encouraged by increasing the concentration of \( N_2O_4 \), increasing the temperature, and decreasing the pressure. ---
