Question
Consider the following system (K = 77.5 at 600 K):

CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g)

The concentrations of reactants and products are measured at a particular time and found to be:

[CO] = 4.25E-2 M         [Cl2] = 3.90E-2 M         [COCl2] = 9.80E-2 M


Is the system at equilibrium? _____ (yes or no)
If not, in which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium?

a.will proceed in the reverse direction
b.will proceed in the forward direction
c.is at equilibrium
