1.	A mixture of 1. 57 mol of N2, 1. 92 mol of and 8.13 mol of is introduced into a 20 L reaction vessel at 500 K. At this temperature, the equilibrium constant, Kc for the reaction is 1.7 × . Is the reaction mixture at equilibrium ? If not, what is the direction of the net reaction ?
Answer» rection of the net chemical REACTION DEPENDS upon the reaction constant and equilibrium constant .Hence, If the reaction is at equilibrium state.If the reaction will take a forward DIRECTION.If the reaction will take a backward direction.In the above case, Molecular Concentration (M) of reactants and products:SUBSTITUTING the values:Comparing SINCE the reaction constant is < than equilibrium constant , the reaction will move in the forward direction and the reactants get converted into the products.
