Q. For the equilibrium, $ 2N{{O}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons {{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}(g)+14.6\,\,\text{kcal,} $ increase in temperature

CMC MedicalCMC Medical 2009

Solution:

The given reaction is exothermic and according to Le-Chatelier principle high temperature shifts the equilibrium in backward direction. In other words, high temperature favours the decomposition of $ {{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4}} $
