Question

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.

Diagram showing yellow L2 molecules and black M2 molecules in a chemical equilibrium context.

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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