Expert Solution
Step 1

In the given question, we have the following equilibrium:

2N2O54NO+3O2

When the above reaction is in equilibrium, according to the definition of equilibrium constant, we can write

K=[NO]4[O2]3[N2O5]2

Now, we have the starting materials given for each component in the equilibrium,

2N2O54NO + 3O23.73M        3.75M   3.75M

We already know that according to Le Chatelier principle, if the concentration of products is greater than that of the reactants, the equilibrium will be shifted towards left hand side direction (towards reactants).

In this case as well, the product concentrations are greater than the reactant concentration at start which means the equilibrium will be shifted towards left hand side direction.
