Question

The calculated value of KP for the equilibrium:

1 Br2(g) + 1 Cl2(g)  2 BrCl(g)

is 0.846 at 1961 oC. For each of the mixtures listed here select the option from the pulldown menu which indicates whether the mixture is reasonably close to being at equilibrium at 1961 oC. "Reasonably close" means that Q is within a factor of 2 of KP. If the mixture is not close to equilibrium choose the option which indicates which direction the reaction needs to shift (toward product or toward reactants) to achieve equilibrium.




(a) p(Br2) = 1.84 atm, p(Cl2) = 7.24 atm, p(BrCl) = 16.8 atm;

this reaction: does which one of the folllowing??
