. The system, 2 H2O(g) + 2 Cl2(g) ⇌ 4 HCl(g) + O2(g), has a value of 8.00 for Kp. Initially, the partial pressures of H2O and Cl2 are set at 0.100 atm, while those of HCl and O2 are set at 0.250 atm. Which statement below is true? a. Qp > Kp and the reaction proceeds to the right to reach equilibrium b. Qp < Kp and the reaction proceeds to the left to reach equilibrium c. the reaction system is already at equilibrium d. Qp > Kp and the reaction proceeds to the left to reach equilibrium e. Qp < Kp and the reaction proceeds to the right to reach equilibrium
