question 190

Multiple Choice

At 1000 K, the value of the K eq for the following reaction equals 0.338.
2 SO₃(g) 2 SO₂ (g) + O₂(g) K c = 0.338
If the partial pressure values for these three components at a single moment were:
P SO₃ = 0.16 atm P SO₂ = 0.41 atm PO₂ = 2.5 atm What can be stated about the reaction quotient , Q , and the direction that the reaction is preceding?

• A) Q = 16.4 and the reaction is preceding from left to right as written.
• B) Q = 16.4 and the reaction is preceding from right to left as written.
• C) Q = 6.4 and the reaction is preceding from left to right as written.
• D) Q = 6.4 and the reaction preceding from right to left as written.
• E) Q = 6.4 and the reaction is at equilibrium.
