Dinitrogen tetraoxide is a colorless gas at room temperature. It can dissociate into nitrogen dioxide, which is a reddish brown gas.
N2O4(g) <<<------->>>2 NO2(g) |
Three experiments were run starting with different initial amounts
of N2O4(g)
([N2O4]0 in the table). The
systems were allowed to reach equilibrium and the concentrations
for each gas were measured (in units of moles/Liter).
For each of the boxes below, calculate the ratios indicated by the
column heading. This will show the mathematical relationship that
exists between the concentrations of NO2 and
N2O4 at equilibrium.
Be sure to round to the correct number of significant figures.
Exp | [N2O4]0 | [NO2] | [N2O4] | [NO2] / [N2O4] | 2 [NO2] / [N2O4] | [NO2]2 / [N2O4] | ||||
1 | 3.7 | 2.92 | 2.2 | |||||||
2 | 2.8 | 2.49 | 1.6 | |||||||
3 | 2.6 | 2.33 | 1.4 |
Based on your calculations, indicate whether each statement is
True (T) or False (F):
___TF1. Each experiment started with a different
initial concentration of N2O4.
___TF2. The ratio ([NO2] /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
___TF3. The ratio (2 [NO2] /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
___TF4. The ratio ([NO2]2 /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
___TF5. Each experiment reached a different set of
equilibrium concentrations.

Based on your calculations, indicate whether each statement is
True (T) or False (F):
___TF1. Each experiment started with a different
initial concentration of N2O4.
This is true. initial concentration of N2O4 are 3.7, 2.8, 2.6
___TF2. The ratio ([NO2] /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
This is FALSE
The ratio value of [NO2]/ [N2O4] in all three experiment have different value
___TF3. The ratio (2 [NO2] /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
This is FALSE
The ratio value of [2 [NO2] / [N2O4] in all three experiment have different value
___TF4. The ratio ([NO2]2 /
[N2O4]) is equal to a constant value.
The ratio value of [NO2]2/ [N2O4] in all three experiment have same value 3.88 is a constant value.
___TF5. Each experiment reached a different set of
equilibrium concentrations.
It is true
