Question

Three experiments were run starting with different initial amounts of N_2O_4(g) ([N_2O_4]_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 NO_2 and N_2O_4 at equilibrium. Based on your calculations, indicate whether each statement is True (T) or False (F): Each experiment started with a different initial concentration of N_2O_4. the ratio ([NO_2]/[N_2O_4]) is equal to a constant value. the ratio (2 [NO_2]/[N_2O_4]) is equal to a constant value. the ratio ([NO_2]^2/(N_2O_4]) is equal to a constant value. Each experiment reached a different set of equilibrium concentrations.

Explanation / Answer

1. True - Each experiment started with a different initial concentration of N2O4

2. False- the ratio([NO2]/N2O4]) is equal to a constant value

3.False- the ratio(2*[NO2]/N2O4]) is equal to a constant value

4.True- the ratio([NO2]2/N2O4]) is equal to a constant value

5. True- Each experiment reached a disfferent set of equilibrium concentrations
