Question
Consider the following reaction where \( K_c = 5.10 \times 10^{-6} \) at 548 K.

\[ \text{NH}_4\text{Cl}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3(g) + \text{HCl}(g) \]

A reaction mixture was found to contain 0.0527 moles of \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}(s)\), 0.00304 moles of \(\text{NH}_3(g)\), and 0.00226 moles of \(\text{HCl}(g)\), in a 1.00 liter container.

Is the reaction at equilibrium?

If not, what direction must it run in order to reach equilibrium?

The reaction quotient, \( Q_c \), equals \(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\).

The reaction
- \( \circ \) must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
- \( \circ \) must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
- \( \circ \) is at equilibrium.

The reaction - \( \circ \) must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium. - \( \circ \) must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium. - \( \circ \) is at equilibrium.
Expert Solution
Step 1: Consider the given information as follows;

NH subscript 4 Cl open parentheses straight s close parentheses space space rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon space NH subscript 3 open parentheses straight g close parentheses space space plus space space HCl open parentheses straight g close parentheses space space space space space space space space space space space semicolon space space space space space space space space space space space space space straight K subscript straight c equals 5.10 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent

Temperature (T) = 548 K

Moles of NH subscript 4 Cl = 0.0527 mol

Moles of NH subscript 3 = 0.00304 mol

Moles of HCl = 0.00226 mol

Volume (V) = 1.00 L
