Question

Consider the following equilibrium reaction at a given temperature:
A (aq) + 2 B (aq) ⇌ C (aq) + 3 D (aq)     Kc = 3.42

If initially the concentrations of the chemical species are as follows:

  • [A]o = 0.313 M
  • [B]o = 0.414 M
  • [C]o = 0.604 M
  • [D]o = 0.672 M



to which direction will the reaction run to reach equilibrium?

Answerrs:

The reaction runs to the left because Qc > Kc

The reaction runs to the right because Qc > Kc

The reaction runs to the left because Qc < Kc

The reaction is at equilibrium because Qc = Kc

The reaction runs to the right because Qc < Kc
