For the equilibrium , H2O(g) + CO(g)
H2(g)
+ CO2(g), Kc =
24 at 500 K.
Suppose 0.0100 M H2O, 0.0200 M CO,
0.0300 M H2 and 0.0400 M CO2 are
placed in a reaction vessel at 500 K.
Is the reaction mixture at equilibrium?
a.
Yes, Q = K and the system
is at equilibrium.
b.
No, Q > K and the
reaction will consume products to make more reactants.
c.
No, Q > K and the
reaction will continue to make more products.
d.
No, Q < K and the
reaction will continue to make more products.
e.
No, Q < K and the
reaction will consume products to make more reactants.
