  • Pressure's Effect on N2O4 Formation: A Le Chatelier's Principle Explanation
    According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure on the system will shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, the reactants have 2 moles of gas (1 mole of NO2 and 1 mole of N2O4) while the products have only 1 mole of gas (N2O4). Therefore, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the products, resulting in more N2O4 being formed.
