Question

Consider the reaction  2 N2O (g) = 2 N2 (g) + O2 (g)  where Kc = 0.24 at 25 °C. If 0.12 M N2O (g),  0.21 M N2 (g) and 0.10 M  O2 (g) are initially present in a 1.0 L flask at 25 °C, what change in concentrations (if any) will occur in time? (Choose one option only).

Options:

a. [N2O] and  [N2] will remain unchanged.

b. [N2O] will decrease and [N2] will increase. 

c. [N2O] will increase and [N2] will increase.

d. [N2O] will increase and [N2] will decrease.

e. [N2O] will decrease and [N2] will decrease.
