Q. What would be the effect of increasing the volume of each of the following system on its equilibrium.

$1.$ $2CO\left(\right.g\left.\right)+O_{2}\left(\right.g\left.\right)\rightleftharpoons2CO_{2}\left(\right.g\left.\right)$

$2.$ $N_{2}O_{4}\left(\right.g\left.\right)\rightleftharpoons2NO_{2}\left(\right.g\left.\right)$

Solution:

Increasing volume will result in the decreases of concentration of all gases as per Le-Chatelier principle, the reaction should move in a direction of increases in total number of gaseous moles. Thus shift is in a direction of $\Delta n_{g}>0$ .
