Net reaction of the A and B mixture should be explained using Qc and Kc.
Concept introduction:
For the given reaction, the equation for Qp is as follows:
At the equilibrium Qp is equal to the Kp.
If Qp is larger than the Kp, then the reaction is favored to left side.
If Qp is lower than the Kp, then the reaction is favored to right side.
