Q = 3.0 and the system reaches equilibrium by increasing the amount of H₂O. Q = 3.0 and the system reaches equilibrium by decreasing the amount of H₂O. Q = 36 and the system reaches equilibrium by decreasing the amount of H₂O. Q = 36 and the system reaches equilibrium by increasing the amount of H₂O.

How does equilibrium represent the balancing of opposing processes? Give an example of an “equilibrium” encountered in everyday life, showing how the processes involved oppose each other.
A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.
