Using reaction free energy to predict equilibrium composition D 1/5 Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO (g)+ Cl, (g) 2NOCI (g) AG" = - 41. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 2.34 atm of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and 9.71 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOCI) at 426. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of NO tend to rise or fall? O fall Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding Cl,? In other words, if you said the pressure of NO will tend to rise, can that yes be changed to a tendency to fall by adding Cl,? Similarly, if you said the no pressure of NO will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding Cl,? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of CI, needed to reverse it. atm Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
