question 44

Multiple Choice

The value of the equilibrium constant for the following reaction is 16 at a given temperature: CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇌ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) If [CO] = 4.0 M, [H₂O] = 4.0 M, [CO₂] = 4.0 M, and [H₂] = 4.0 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.
