Nitrogen and oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide, like this:

N2 (g) + O2 (g) →2NO (g)

The reaction is endothermic. Suppose a mixture of N2, O2and NO

has come to equilibrium in a closed reaction vessel. Predict what change, if any, the perturbations in the table below will cause in the composition of the mixture in the vessel. Also decide whether the equilibrium shifts to the right or left.

You are given the elements nitrogen to react with oxygen react to form nitrogen monoxide with a given equation, N2 (g) + O2 (g) →2NO (g), the reaction is endothermic. If this reaction is in equilibrium, then, varying concentrations will affect the outcome of products. If NO is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to the right. If NO is increased, the equilibrium shifts to the left.
