Consider the reaction n2o4(g)→2no2(g) where n2o4 is colorless and no2 is brown. at a temperature of 5∘c, the reaction is colorless at equilibrium. this indicates that the equilibrium constant for this reaction at this temperature is

Answer:

This indicates that the equilibrium constant for this reaction at this temperature is less than 1.0 (< 1.0).

Explanation:

When the equilibrium constant (K):

K < 1 → [reactants] > [products].

K = 1 → [reactants] = [products].

K > 1 → [reactants] < [products].

Since the reaction is colorless (color of Nâ‚‚Oâ‚„), it is shifted towards the reactants which means that [reactants] > [products].

So, K < 1.
