Question

For the following reaction, Kc = 15 at 700 K.

2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇄ 2 NOCl(g)

If we have [NO] = 0.15 M, [Cl2] = 0.15 M, [NOCl] = 0.40 M at 700 K, what will happen?

Group of answer choices
The equilibrium will not shift.
The equilibrium will shift to the left until all the NOCl is used up.
The equilibrium will shift to the right until all the reactants are used up.
The equilibrium will shift to the left, but will use up only part of the NOCl.
The equilibrium will shift to the right, but will use up only part of the NO and Cl2.
Expert Solution
Step 1

We found that  When Q >K that means

product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

So, the reaction is reactant favored that means reaction must shift to the reactants to be in equilibrium or shift to the left side.

Hence the 2nd option is  correct that is, The equilibrium will shift to the left until all the NOCl is used up.Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1
