The equilibrium constant (Kc) for the formation of nitrosyl chloride, an orange-yellow compound, from nitric oxide and molecular chlorine 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌⇌ 2NOCl(g) is 6.5x10^4 at 35 degrees C. In a certain experiment, 2.0x10^-2 mole of NO, 8.3x10^-3 mole of Cl2, and 6.8 moles of NOCl are mixed in a 2.0-L flask. In which direction will the system proceed to reach equilibrium?
