A reaction system at \(298 \text{ K}\) is represented by the balanced equation below.

\(\text{2 NO}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)} \quad K_c = 2.0 \text{ at } 298 \text{ K}\)

A student prepares a mixture of \(\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}\) and \(\text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)}\) in a rigid \(1.0 \text{ L}\) container at \(298 \text{ K}\), as represented in the particulate diagram. Each molecule in the diagram represents \(1.0 \text{ mol}\) of that species. Which of the following best predicts how the system will respond to reach equilibrium?
