For the reaction: ½F 2(g) ↔ F(g), a reaction mixture initially contains 0.5 atm of F 2(g) and 0.5 atm of F(g) in their standard states. If K p = 7.55×10 –2 at this temperature, which statement is true? Q < K, and the reaction proceeds towards the reactants. Q < K, and the reaction proceeds towards the products. Q = K, and the reaction is at equilibrium. Q > K, and the reaction proceeds towards the reactants.
