For the general gas phase reaction 2 A + 3 B ↔ 2 C the equalibrium constant is 5.00. Calculate the equilibrium quotient based on the following initial concentrations and predict whether the system with shift left or shift right. Report your answer to 3 significant figures, not scientific notation, using the format "1.23 left" or "9.87 right". A0 = 0.179 M B0 = 1.64 M C0 = 0.0346 M

Report your answer to 3 significant figures, not scientific notation, using the format "1.23 left" or "9.87 right".
A0 = 0.179 M
B0 = 1.64 M
C0 = 0.0346 M
The direction of the reaction depends on the equilibrium quotient of the reaction
1) If equilibrium quotient (Q) < Equilibrium constant (K) => the reaction is not in equilibrium will move in forward direction that is product side
2) If equilibrium quotient (Q) > Equilibrium constant (K) => the reaction is not in equilibrium will move in backward direction that is reactant side
3) If equilibrium quotient (Q) = Equilibrium constant (K) => the reaction is in equilibrium and will not move in any direction
The reaction given is,
=> 2 A + 3 B ↔ 2 C K = 5.00
