6 At room temperature and pressure, the brown gas, \( \mathrm{NO}_{2} \), contains some di-nitrogen dioxide, \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4} \). The two substances are in a dynamic equilibrium.
\[
\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftarrows 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \quad \Delta H=+58 \mathrm{KJ}
\]
(a) What is meant by dynamic equilibrium?

(b) One of the lines on the graph below shows how the amount of \( \mathrm{NO}_{2} \) in the equilibrium mixture varies with pressure.
Which line, \( \mathrm{X} \) or \( \mathrm{Y} \), correctly shows how the percentage of \( \mathrm{NO}_{2} \) in the equilibrium mixture changes as the pressure is increased if the temperature stays constant? \( \qquad \) Explain the choice of your answer.

(c) The energy change, \( \Delta H \), given is for the forward reaction. On the axis, complete the diagram by drawing a labelled energy level diagram to show the progress of the reaction for the production of nitrogen dioxide, \( \mathrm{NO}_{2} \).
(d) What will be the effect, on the percentage of the nitrogen dioxide, of increasing the temperature of the equilibrium mixture at constant pressure?
