Question 50 (Part 4 continued). The reaction in Question 49 (2 NO + O2 ⇌ 2 NO2) is exothermic. Using Le Châtelier’s principle, predict the direction the equilibrium shifts (toward reactants or toward products) and briefly explain each of the following stresses: (a) increasing the pressure by decreasing the container volume; (b) increasing the temperature; (c) continuously removing NO2 as it forms.
