The reaction CO(g) + Cl2(g) ↔ COCl2(g) has Kc = 4.6×109. If initially all products and reactants are equal concentrations, then how would the concentrations of the reactants compare to the concentration of the products at equilibrium? Group of answer choices The reactants would be higher in concentration than products. The reactants would be lower in concentration than products. The reactants would have the exact same concentration as the products (the reaction is at equilibrium). There is not enough information given to determine how concentrations would compare.
