16. Chemical Equilibrium - Part 2 of 2

16. Chemical Equilibrium / Reaction Quotient / Problem 11

Consider the following reaction 2 LM ⇌ L₂ + M₂ with an equilibrium constant of K_c = 0.25 The diagram below shows a mixture of the molecules L₂ (yellow), M₂ (black), and LM. Determine the correct statement about the mixture.

ANSWERS OPTIONS

A

The reaction shifts in the forward direction to produce more products until equilibrium is established.

B

The reaction shifts in the reverse direction to produce more reactants until equilibrium is established.

C

The reaction mixture is at equilibrium therefore there will be no shift in the direction of the reaction.

D

Not enough information is given.
