Consider the following reaction where Kc
COC12 (9) CO(g) + Cl₂ (g)
A reaction mixture was found to contain 0.107 moles of
COC12 (g), 0.0269 moles of
CO(g), and 0.0363 moles of
Cl₂ (g), in a 1.00 liter container.
Calculate Q.
Qc
=
=
0.0129 at 600 K.
Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, what direction must it run in order to reach equilibrium?
○The reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
The reaction must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
The reaction is at equilibrium.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The direction in which the reaction proceeds to reach equilibrium can be predicted by determining the reaction quotient at given partial pressure of Reaction species.

Reaction quotient is the product of the concentrations of the products, each raised to the power equal to a stoichiometric coefficient divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactant each raised to the power equal to its stoichiometric coefficient at a particular point of time.

If Qc > Kc , then the reaction will shift to the left i.e. towards reactants.
If Qc < Kc, then the reaction will shift to the right i.e. towards products.
If Qc = Kc, then the reaction is at equilibrium.
