Nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) decomposes to nitric oxide and chlorine when heated
$$
2 \mathrm{NOCl}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})
$$
In a mixture of all three gases at $600 \mathrm{~K}$, the partial pressure of NOCl is $0.88 \mathrm{bar}$, that of NO is $0.06$ bar, and the partial pressure of chlorine is $0.03$ bar. At $600 \mathrm{~K}$, the equilibrium constant, $K$, is $0.060$. (Section $15.2$ and several others) (a) What is the value of the reaction quotient for this mixture? Is the mixture at equilibrium?
(b) In which direction will the system move to reach equlibrium?
(c) What will happen if an additional amount of $\mathrm{NOCl}(\mathrm{g})$ is injected into the reaction?
