Given the following balanced equation:
Cl2(aq) + HClO2(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ 3 H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + ClO3-(aq) ; Kc = 1.34×106
A reaction mixture has the following concentrations of reactants and products:
[Cl2] = 0.220 M; [HClO2] = 0.250 M; [H+] = 0.0500 M; [Cl-] = 0.0150 M; and [ClO3-] = 0.0111 M;
Determine the direction in which the reaction will proceed.
