A square box representing a rigid container. In the upper right corner, a legend indicates: filled black circle = N atom; open white circle = O atom. Inside the box, there are exactly 6 NO2 molecules and exactly 1 N2O4 molecule, uniformly distributed. Each NO2 molecule consists of 1 central filled black circle bonded to 2 open white circles in a bent configuration. The single N2O4 molecule consists of 2 bonded central filled black circles, with each black circle also bonded to 2 open white circles. In total, the box contains exactly 8 filled black circles and exactly 16 open white circles. No other particles, labels, text, or annotations appear.
Equilibrium mixture of \(\text{NO}_2(g)\) and \(\text{N}_2\text{O}_4(g)\) at \(T_1\).
A rigid, sealed container contains an equilibrium mixture of
\(\text{NO}_2(g)\) and \(\text{N}_2 ext{O}_4(g)\) at temperature \(T_1\), as shown in the diagram.

\[ 2\,\text{NO}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_4(g) \quad \Delta H^\circ = -57.2\text{ kJ/mol}_{\text{rxn}} \]

The temperature of the container is lowered from \(T_1\) to \(T_2\), and the system is allowed to establish a new equilibrium. Which of the following particulate diagrams best represents the mixture at \(T_2\)?
