1) The forward reaction is N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO

(that reaction requires special contitions because at normal pressures and temperatures N2 and O2 do not react to form another compound.

2) The equiblibrium equation is

N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2NO

3) Then, the reverse reaction is

2NO → N2 (g) + O2 (g)

Answer: 2NO → N2 (g) + O2 (g)
