Consider the reaction represented by the following Q equation: N\(_2\)O\(_{4(g)}\) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NO\(_{2(g)}\) \(\Delta\)H = +57.2KJmol\(^{-1}\)
(a) When is the reaction said to be at equilibrium?
(b) Mention two conditions that can favour the forward reaction
(c) Name the principle involved in (b) above.
Explanation

(b)(i) Increasing the temperature
(ii) Decreasing the pressure
(c) Le Chatelier's principle
