One of the products of the reaction between NO₂ and CO is CO₂. By writing the equation for the reaction (Hint: the coefficients for all reactants and products are 1), decide whether an increase in pressure:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation for the reaction is NO2 + CO → NO + CO2. Since there is no change in the number of moles of gas (2 moles of reactants produce 2 moles of products), an increase in pressure has no effect on the position of equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle.
