Consider the reaction 2 NO2 (g) ⇌ N2O4 (g) where Kc = 0.24 at 25°C. If 2.4 mol NO2 (g) and 0.90 mol N2O4 (g) are initially present in a 1.0 L flask at 25°C, what change concentrations, if any, will occur in time? (Choose one option) a. [NO2] will decrease and [N2O4] will decrease. b. [NO2] will decrease and [N2O4] will increase. c.  [NO2] will increase and [N2O4] will increase. d. [NO2] and [N2O4] remain unchanged. e. [NO2] will increase and [N2O4] will decrease.
