The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction and calculate the reaction quotient (Q) and compare it with the equilibrium constant (K) to determine the direction of the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Reaction:** The reaction given is: \[ S_8(g) \leftrightarrow 4S_2(g) \] 2. **Identify Initial Moles:** We are given: - Moles of \( S_8 \) = 2 mol - Moles of \( S_2 \) = 0.2 mol 3. **Calculate Concentrations:** Since the volume of the reaction vessel is 1 L, the concentrations of the reactants and products can be calculated as follows: - Concentration of \( S_8 \) = \(\frac{2 \text{ mol}}{1 \text{ L}} = 2 \text{ M}\) - Concentration of \( S_2 \) = \(\frac{0.2 \text{ mol}}{1 \text{ L}} = 0.2 \text{ M}\) 4. **Calculate the Reaction Quotient (Q):** The reaction quotient \( Q \) is calculated using the formula: \[ Q = \frac{[S_2]^4}{[S_8]} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ Q = \frac{(0.2)^4}{(2)} = \frac{0.0016}{2} = 0.0008 = 8 \times 10^{-4} \] 5. **Compare Q with K:** The equilibrium constant \( K \) is given as: \[ K = 6.30 \times 10^{-6} \] Now we compare \( Q \) and \( K \): - \( Q = 8 \times 10^{-4} \) - \( K = 6.30 \times 10^{-6} \) Since \( Q > K \), according to Le Chatelier's principle, the reaction will shift to the left (backward direction) to reach equilibrium. 6. **Conclusion:** - (a) The reaction quotient is \( 8 \times 10^{-4} \) (Correct) - (b) The reaction proceeds in the backward direction (Correct) - (c) The reaction proceeds in the forward direction (Incorrect) ### Final Answer: The correct options are (a) and (b). ---
