The Value of the Equilibrium Constant for the Following Reaction

question 78

Multiple Choice

The value of the equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 224 at a given temperature: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g) If [N₂] = 10.0 M, [H₂] = 10.0 M, and [NH₃] = 10.0 M, determine if the reaction is at equilibrium. If it is not, in which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium?

• A)The reaction is at equilibrium.
• B)The reaction is not at equilibrium, it will shift to the left.
• C)The reaction is not at equilibrium, it will shift to the right.
• D)It is not possible to tell if the reaction is at equilibrium.
• E)To reach equilibrium, the value of K_eq must change.
