For questions 29-30 consider the following reaction

2NO2(brown gas) N2O4(colorless gas), Kc = 3 at 400K
28)What can you say about the NO2(g) and N2O4(g) mixture in a rigid 1.5 L
container at 400K represented by the picture to the right?
a. For this mixture, Q = K and the mixture is at equilibrium.
b. For this mixture, Q < K and the reaction will move to the right.
c. For this mixture, Q < K and the reaction will move to the left.
d. For this mixture, Q > K and the reaction will move to the right.
e. For this mixture, Q > K and the reaction will move to the left.

29) You have a sealed rigid glass flask containing an equilibrium mixture of NO2(g) and N2O4(g) at
room temperature. The mixture appears dark brown. When you submerge the flask with the gases
in boiling water the color of the mixture becomes lighter. What is the possible explanation for this
phenomenon?
a. The pressure of gases in the rigid container will be greater at higher temperature and the
equilibrium position will shift to the left.
b. The pressure of gases in the rigid container will be greater at higher temperature and the
equilibrium position will shift to the right.
c. The reaction is exothermic, so when you increase the temperature the equilibrium
position shifts to the left.
d. The reaction is exothermic, so when you increase the temperature the equilibrium
position shifts to the right.
e. Both a and c are true.
