Here are the solutions to your questions:

6.1 Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state in a reversible chemical reaction where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products.

6.2.1 At t1t_1, the concentrations of N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g) are decreasing and NO2(g)NO_2(g) are increasing, indicating that the system is not yet at equilibrium and the forward reaction is dominant.
The rate of the forward reaction is HIGHER THAN the rate of the reverse reaction.

6.2.2 At t2t_2, the concentrations of both N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g) and NO2(g)NO_2(g) have become constant, which signifies that the system has reached equilibrium.
The rate of the forward reaction is EQUAL TO the rate of the reverse reaction.

6.3.1 At t3t_3, there is an instantaneous decrease in the concentrations of both N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g) and NO2(g)NO_2(g), followed by a shift in equilibrium where [N2O4][N_2O_4] decreases further and [NO2][NO_2] increases. Since the equilibrium constant (KcK_c) did not change, the temperature remained constant. An instantaneous decrease in concentration for all species indicates an increase in volume (or decrease in pressure). The equilibrium shifts to the side with more moles of gas (2NO2(g)2NO_2(g)) to counteract the pressure decrease.
The change made was an increase in volume (or decrease in pressure).

6.3.2 At t4t_4, there is an instantaneous increase in the concentrations of both N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g) and NO2(g)NO_2(g), followed by a shift in equilibrium where [N2O4][N_2O_4] increases further and [NO2][NO_2] decreases. Since KcK_c did not change, the temperature remained constant. An instantaneous increase in concentration for all species indicates a decrease in volume (or increase in pressure). The equilibrium shifts to the side with fewer moles of gas (N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g)) to counteract the pressure increase.
The change made was a decrease in volume (or increase in pressure).

6.4 The reaction is N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g) with ΔH>0\Delta H > 0.

  1. Identify the nature of the forward reaction.

    Since ΔH>0\Delta H > 0, the forward reaction (decomposition of N2O4N_2O_4 to NO2NO_2) is endothermic.

  2. Apply Le Chatelier's principle.

    According to Le Chatelier's principle, an increase in temperature favors the endothermic reaction to absorb the added heat. In this case, increasing the temperature will favor the forward reaction.

  3. Determine the influence on the yield of NO2(g)NO_2(g).

    Favoring the forward reaction means more N2O4(g)N_2O_4(g) will decompose to form NO2(g)NO_2(g). Therefore, the yield of NO2(g)NO_2(g) will INCREASE.

    6.5
    The reaction is:

    N2O4(g)⇌2NO2(g)N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)

    Initial moles of N2O4=0.92 molN_2O_4 = 0.92 \text{ mol}
    Volume of container = 2 dm32 \text{ dm}^3
    Percentage decomposed = 20.7%20.7\%

  4. Calculate the moles of N2O4N_2O_4 that decomposed.

    Moles of N2O4 decomposed=0.207×0.92 mol=0.19044 mol\text{Moles of } N_2O_4 \text{ decomposed} = 0.207 \times 0.92 \text{ mol} = 0.19044 \text{ mol}
  5. Calculate the equilibrium moles of N2O4N_2O_4 and NO2NO_2.

    Moles of N2O4 at equilibrium=Initial moles−Moles decomposed\text{Moles of } N_2O_4 \text{ at equilibrium} = \text{Initial moles} - \text{Moles decomposed} nN2O4=0.92 mol−0.19044 mol=0.72956 moln_{N_2O_4} = 0.92 \text{ mol} - 0.19044 \text{ mol} = 0.72956 \text{ mol}

    From the stoichiometry (1 mol N2O4→2 mol NO21 \text{ mol } N_2O_4 \rightarrow 2 \text{ mol } NO_2):

    Moles of NO2 at equilibrium=2×Moles of N2O4 decomposed\text{Moles of } NO_2 \text{ at equilibrium} = 2 \times \text{Moles of } N_2O_4 \text{ decomposed} nNO2=2×0.19044 mol=0.38088 moln_{NO_2} = 2 \times 0.19044 \text{ mol} = 0.38088 \text{ mol}
  6. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations.

    [N2O4]=nN2O4Volume=0.72956 mol2 dm3=0.36478 M[N_2O_4] = \frac{n_{N_2O_4}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{0.72956 \text{ mol}}{2 \text{ dm}^3} = 0.36478 \text{ M} [NO2]=nNO2Volume=0.38088 mol2 dm3=0.19044 M[NO_2] = \frac{n_{NO_2}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{0.38088 \text{ mol}}{2 \text{ dm}^3} = 0.19044 \text{ M}
  7. Calculate the equilibrium constant (KcK_c).

    Kc=[NO2]2[N2O4]K_c = \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]} Kc=(0.19044)20.36478K_c = \frac{(0.19044)^2}{0.36478} Kc=0.03626747360.36478K_c = \frac{0.0362674736}{0.36478} Kc≈0.0994K_c \approx 0.0994

    The equilibrium constant (KcK_c) for this reaction at 100∘C100^\circ C is 0.0994\boxed{\text{0.0994}}.
