1. Consider the reaction: N2 (g) + O2 (g)  2NO (g) + Cl2 (g) A reaction mixture at 400  C has the following composition: [NO] = 0.01 M, [N2] = 0.001 M, and [O2] = 0.001 M. (Kc = 0.0156 at 400  C). Is the reaction at equilibrium?

    The reaction is not at the equilibrium, we have more products than reactants.

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Temperature = 400 °C

    When Q=K, this means the system is at equilibrium. There will not be a shift to either the left or the right.

    When Q
    When Q>K, it means we have more products than reactants. The system will, as reaction, make less products and more reactants, this will cause the equilibrium to move to the left.

    [NO] = 0.01 M

    [N2] = 0.001 M

    [O2] = 0.001 M

    Kc = 0.0156

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇆ 2NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

    Step 3: Calculate Q

    Q = [NO]²/[N2][O2]

    Q = 0.01² / (0.01*0.001)

    Q = 10

    Q>>Kc

    This means we have more products than reactants. The system will, as reaction, make less products and more reactants, this will cause the equilibrium to move to the left.

    The reaction is not at the equilibrium, we have more products than reactants.
