Problem

The reaction 2 NO₂(g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g) is at equilibrium in a sealed container at constant temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly reduced to one-third of its original value. Describe the direction in which the equilibrium will shift and briefly state the reason for this shift in terms of gaseous moles.
