3. At 400°C the Kc value for 4HCI(ag) + O2(g) → 2H2O(I) + 2CI2(g) is 4.60 x 105. At the start of the reaction the concentrations of HCI, O2, and Cl2 are 0.220 M, 0.340 M, and 0.660 M, respectively. Determine whether this system is at equilibrium, and if not determine in which direction it must proceed to establish equilibrium.
