A woman is rushed to the Emergency Department following a severe motor vehicle accident. The patient is clearly in respiratory distress, and exhibits rapid, shallowing breathing that relies on accessory breathing muscles of her neck. Further examination and testing show that she has suffered an injury to her spinal cord, and her diaphragm muscle is paralyzed. Which one of the following is the most likely level of her spinal injury?

Given the following equilibrium: N2O4 2NO2 At 298K the equilibrium constant is 0.113. In a certain experiment the initial pressure of N2O4 is 0.453atm and the initial pressure of NO2 is 0.122 atm. Calculate the delta G of the reaction and predict the direction in which the reaction will proceed spontaneously to reestablish the equilibrium. Note of you solve for the direction using the equilibrium expression you still have not determined Delta G of the reaction so you will only get 7 points.
