Alright, so we know some concentrations of the species in this system in this gas phase reaction

Question

For the reaction PCI₅ (g) ⇌ PCI₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g) Kc = 0.0454 at 261°C. If a vessel is filled with these gases such that the initial concentrations are [PCI₅ ] = 0.25M, (PCI;] = 0.20 M, and [Cl₂ ] = 2.25 M, in which direction will a reaction occur and why? A) toward products because Q = 0.56 B) toward reactants because Q = 1.8 C) it is at equilibrium D) toward reactants because Q = 0.0454 E) toward products because Q = 0.022

          For the reaction PCI₅ (g) ⇌ PCI₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g) Kc = 0.0454 at 261°C. If a vessel is filled with
these gases such that the initial concentrations are [PCI₅ ] = 0.25M, (PCI;] = 0.20 M, and [Cl₂ ]
= 2.25 M, in which direction will a reaction occur and why?
A) toward products because Q = 0.56
B) toward reactants because Q = 1.8
C) it is at equilibrium
D) toward reactants because Q = 0.0454
E) toward products because Q = 0.022
