In the incomplete reaction N2 + O2 --> 2NO K=0.01 originally in a 1L solution we have 0.4 mole of N2 and 0.1 mol of O2 and 0.08 mol of NO. If the volume of the equilibrium solution of N2, O2 and NO is decreased to 0.5L, shoulodn't the concentration of NO increase?

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
