# 16 of Approaching Equilibrium
For the reaction system A₂(g) + B₂(g) = 2AB(g)
the equilibrium constant K= 6.2
A system using this reaction was being tried in a 1.00 L reactor. It was charged with 0.20 mol A2, 0.15 mol B₂ and 0.60
mol AB.
The system was allowed to come to equilibrium. Which statement below describes the system coming to equilibrium?
(Note: in the answers, Q refers to the reaction quotient, K refers to the equilibrium constant).
Select one:
O a. The reaction goes to the right, more products will form because Q < K
O b. The reaction goes to the left, more reactants will form because Q > K
O c. The reaction goes to the right, more products will form because Q > K
O d.
It is not possible to predict in which direction the system will travel to arrive at equilibrium.
e.
The reaction goes to the left, more reactants will form because Q < K

Answer 1

From the calculation, Q >K, the reaction proceeds towards the left and more reactants will form.

What is equilibrium constant?

The term equilibrium constant refers to the value that could indicate the extent of conversion of reactants to products.

Thus, given that the equilibrium constant for the reaction  A₂(g) + B₂(g) = 2AB(g) is 6.2, the Qc is obtained from;

Qc = [0.60]^2/[0.20] [0.15]

Qc = 0.36/0.03

Qc = 12

Since Q >K, the reaction proceeds towards the left and more reactants will form.
