**SHORT QUESTION**

Hello newfound chemists! Again, we are continuing our trek into the study of chemical principles, but now, we are evaluating the significance attached with cars and the emissions that they release. Knowing what is released from these emissions is essential to moving forward and ensuring that holistically, there is an understanding of the danger in the air.

Nitrogen dioxide, NO2, is an atmospheric pollutant from automobile emissions.

Consider the endothermic formation of NO2 as shown below, with the reaction initially at equilibrium in a sealed rigid vessel.

2O2 (g) + N2 (g) -----> 2NO2(g)

Utilize your knowledge of chemistry to briefly analyze of how the quantities Q, K, ∆G, and ∆ G° are affected (write down whether they remain constant, decrease, or increase.) based on the below manipulations:

a. O2 (g) is added

b. Temperature is increased

c. NO2 (g) is added

Answer 1

K IS EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT. AND Q IS HEAT ABSORBED.  DELTA G IS CHANGE IN GIBBS FREE ENERGY. R IS UNIVERSAL GAS CONSTANT. AND T IS TEMPERATURE.
