The reaction N2O 4 2 NO 2 is allowed to reach equilibrium in chloroform solution at

Question:

The reaction N2O4 → 2 NO2 is allowed to reach equilibrium in chloroform solution at 25 °C. The equilibrium concentrations are 0.405 mol · L–1 N2O4 and 2.13 mol · L–1 NO2

(a) Calculate K for the reaction. 

(b) An additional 1.00 mol NO2 is added to 1.00 L of the solution and the system is allowed to reach equilibrium again at the same temperature. Use Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the direction of change (increase, decrease, or no change) for N2O4, NO2, and K after the addition of NO2

(c) Calculate the final equilibrium concentrations after the addition of NO2 and confirm that your predictions in part (b) were valid. If they do not agree, check your procedure and repeat it if necessary.
