1 9 A pale brown mixture of NO2 and N2O4 is allowed to reach equilibrium in a sealed
gas syringe according to the following equation.
2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g)
When the plunger is pushed further into the syringe the pressure increases and the
mixture becomes paler in colour.
When the syringe is placed in a hot oven the mixture becomes darker in colour.

2 4 In a car airbag, sodium azide (NaN3) decomposes to form sodium metal and
nitrogen gas.
The sodium metal then reacts with potassium nitrate to produce more nitrogen
gas.

formed?
