4.) Based upon the following information, which one is true about the reaction mixture? Eng 2 Kp = 0.065 kp., ert: where P (SO2) 2.00 atm, P (02)-0.50 atm and P (SO3)-0.40 atm a.) Product concentration is too high. Reaction will shift right to establish equilibrium. Product concentration is too high. Reaction will shift left to establish equilibrium. c.) Reactant concentration is too high. Reaction will shift right to establish equilibrium. d.) Reactant concentration is too high. Reaction will shift left to establish equilibrium.

Explanation / Answer

Qp = ( pSO3)^2 / (( pSO2)^2 x pO2 )

        = ( 0.4^2 ) / ( 2^2) ( 0.5)

        = 0.08

Qp > Kp . This means reactants concentration is too high. reaction will shift equilibrium to right to establish equilibrium

Hence option C
