Question


Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.20×10-2 at 500 K.

PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

A reaction mixture was found to contain 0.104 moles of PCl5(g), 4.42×10-2 moles of PCl3(g), and 3.70×10-2 moles of Cl2(g), in a 1.00 liter container.

Is the reaction at equilibrium?
If not, what direction must it run in order to reach equilibrium?

The reaction quotient, Qc, equals .

The reactionfill in the blank 2
A. must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
B. must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
C. is at equilibrium.
