Problem

At 298 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2 NO₂(g) is K=4.6×10−3K = 4.6 \times 10^{-3}. The reaction is rewritten as 2 NO₂(g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g). Determine whether the equilibrium constant for the rewritten reaction will be greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1, and justify your answer in one sentence.
