Question
In the atmosphere, small water droplets are suspended in the air, forming an aerosol. N2O5(g) can
form HNO3 (ag) under these conditions, as shown in reaction 2, represented below.
Reaction 2: N2O5 (9) + H2O(1) → 2 HNO3 (aq)
Which of the following predicts the effect that the formation of HNO3(aq) will have on the
equilibrium shown in reaction 1, and why?
The equilibrium of reaction 1 will shift toward the formation of more product, because N2O5 (9) is
removed when it reacts to form HNO3 (aq).
The equilibrium of reaction 1 will shift toward the formation of more product, because H20(1) acts
as a catalyst for reaction 1.
The equilibrium of reaction 1 will shift toward the formation of more reactants, because the product
N2O5 (9) is removed when it reacts to form HNO3(ag).
The equilibrium of reaction 1 is not affected, because neither H20(1) nor HNO3(aq) are gases.
