Question
- Given the following information, which way will the equilibrium shift?Kc = 0.0512Q = 0.07532NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2NOCl(g)Equilibrium will shift towards the products.Equilibrium will shift towards the reactants.No shift will occur in the system.Equilibrium will shift towards both the products, and the reactants.
Solution
To determine the direction of the shift in equilibrium, we need to compare the reaction quotient (Q) with the equilibrium constant (Kc).
Here, Kc = 0.0512 and Q = 0.0753.
If Q > Kc, the reaction will shift towards the reactants to reach equilibrium. If Q < Kc, the reaction will shift towards the products to reach equilibrium. If Q = Kc, the system is already at equilibrium and no shift will occur.
In this case, Q > Kc (0.0753 > 0.0512), so the equilibrium will shift towards the reactants.
