A chemical engineer is studying the following reaction: CH3CH₂NH₂(aq) + HCl(aq) → Cl(aq) + CH3CH₂NH₂(aq) At the temperature the engineer picks, the equilibrium constant K for this reaction is 2.0. The engineer charges ("fills") four reaction vessels with ethylamine and hydrogen chloride, and lets the reaction begin. She then measures the composition of the mixture inside each vessel from time to time. Her first set of measurements are shown in the table below.

## Reaction Study and Expected Changes in Compositions

A chemical engineer is studying the following reaction:

\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2(\text{aq}) + \text{HCl}(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) + \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_3^+(\text{aq}) \]

### Equilibrium Constant
At the temperature chosen by the engineer, the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for this reaction is 2.0.

### Experimental Setup
The engineer fills four reaction vessels with ethylamine and hydrogen chloride to initiate the reaction. Over time, she measures the composition within each vessel. The table provided shows the first set of measurements.

### Predicting Changes in Composition
The table below outlines the concentration and expected change for each compound in the reaction vessels:

| Reaction Vessel | Compound                | Concentration | Expected Change in Concentration    |
|-----------------|-------------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------|
| A               | \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2\)  | 0.22 M        | ↑ increase                        |
|                 | \(\text{HCl}\)                   | 0.29 M        |                                    |
|                 | \(\text{Cl}^-\)                 | 0.91 M        |                                    |
|                 | \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_3^+\) | 1.23 M        | ↓ decrease                        |
| B               | \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2\)  | 0.71 M        |                                    |
|                 | \(\text{HCl}\)                   | 0.80 M        |                                    |
|                 | \(\text{Cl}^-\)                 | 0.86 M        |                                    |
|                 | \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_3^+\) | 1.30 M        | ↓ decrease                        |
| C               | \(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{NH}_2\)  | 0.85 M        |                                    |
