Question

QUESTION 2 -31 The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction below is Keq- 4.20 x 1031 at 30 °c. N2 (8)+ 02 (8) 2NO (g) At the beginning of the reaction process the reaction quotient is 4.00, what will happen: more product will be formed and reactants will be consumed reactants will be formed and the product will remain the same more product will be formed and more reactants will be formed more product will be formed and reactants will remain the same reactants will be formed and the product will be consumed

Explanation / Answer

The Kc = 4.2 x10-31 is given

And the reaction quotient is 4.00 at the beginning of reaction.

As the reaction quotient is much greater than Kc , the reaction goes in backward direction,

that is more reactants will be formed and the product will be consumed.
