For the equilibrium N₂ (g) +O₂ (g) ⇄ 2 NO(g), K_p = 0.0017 at 2300 K.At a given point, the partial pressures of the gases are P_{N ₂} =P_O₂ = 0.660 atm and P_N_O = 0.0272 atm.Which statement below is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction quotient, Q, is calculated using the partial pressures of the gases at a given point. If Q is less than K, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction to form more products. If Q is greater than K, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction to form more reactants. If Q is equal to K, the system is at equilibrium and there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products. In this case, Q is equal to K, so the system is at equilibrium.
