Question

If the rate constant for the forward reaction in N2O4(g)Colorless⇋2NO2(g)Brown is larger than the rate constant for the reverse reaction, will the constant in [NO2]2[N2O4]=kfkr be greater than 1 or smaller than 1?

Answer 1

`(k_(f))/(k_(r)) > 1`

Step-by-step explanation:

N₂O₄(g) ⇋ 2NO₂(g)

colourless brown

`\rm N_(2)O_(4)\xrightarrow[k_{\text{r}}]{k_{\text{f}}}2NO\\K_{\text{eq }} = (k_(f))/(k_(r))\\\\\text{If }k_(f) > k_(r), K_{\text{eq }} > 1`
