Question

The calculated value of KP for the equilibrium:

2 NO(g) + Cl2(g)  2 NOCl(g)

is 4.46e-01 at 417 oC. For each of the mixtures described in the multiple choices figure out whether the mixture is reasonably close to being at equilibrium at 417 oC. "Reasonably close" means that Q is within a factor of 2 of KP. If the mixture is not close to equilibrium figure out which direction the reaction will shift (toward product or toward reactants) to achieve equilibrium. Choose the correct statement from the choices.
