Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those obtained when gasoline burns in an automobile engine. At 2000°C, Kc for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g) is 0.01.A 1-L container originally holds 0.4 mol of N2, 0.1 mol of O2, and 0.08 mole of NO. If the volume of the container holding the equilibrium mixture of N2, O2, and NO is decreased to 0.5 L without changing the quantities of the gases present, how will their concentrations change?
