Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 4 - No. 41)
For the reaction N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2NO₂(g), what is the effect of increasing the volume of the reaction vessel?
The equilibrium shifts to the right.
The equilibrium shifts to the left.
The equilibrium is unchanged.
The reaction slows down.
Explanation
Increasing the volume favors the side with more moles of gas (products), so the equilibrium shifts to the right.
