QUESTION:

A particular reaction has an equilibrium constant of Kp = 0.50. A reaction mixture is prepared in which all the reactants and products are in their standard states. In which direction will the reaction proceed?

ANSWER:

Solution 102EStep 1Consider that general the reaction is,To predict the direction of change for this reaction, the value of reaction quotient, Q andequilibrium constant, K are compared.When Q < K, the reaction proceeds towards products (Right side).When Q > K, the reaction proceeds towards the reactants. (Left side).When Q = K, the reaction is at equilibrium.
