question 71

Multiple Choice

At 700 K, the reaction 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g) has the equilibrium constant K_c = 4.3 * 10⁶ , and the following concentrations are present: [SO₂] = 0.10 M; [SO₃] = 10. M; [O₂] = 0.10 M. Which of the following is true based on the above

• A) Q_c > K_c, the reaction proceeds from left to right to reach equilibrium
• B) Q_c > K_c, the reaction proceeds from right to left to reach equilibrium
• C) Q_c < K_c, the reaction proceeds from left to right to reach equilibrium
• D) Q_c < K_c, the reaction proceeds from right to left to reach equilibrium
• E) Q_c = K_c, the reaction is currently at equilibrium
