The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the reaction quotient (Q) for the given concentrations and compare it to the equilibrium constant (Kc) to predict the direction of the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the balanced chemical equation:** The reaction is: \[ CH_4(g) + 2H_2S(g) \rightleftharpoons CS_2(g) + 2H_2(g) \] 2. **Identify the equilibrium constant expression (Kc):** The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[CS_2][H_2]^2}{[CH_4][H_2S]^2} \] 3. **Substitute the given concentrations into the Kc expression:** Given: - \([CH_4] = 1.07 \, M\) - \([H_2S] = 1.20 \, M\) - \([CS_2] = 0.09 \, M\) - \([H_2] = 1.78 \, M\) Substitute these values into the Kc expression: \[ Q = \frac{[0.09][1.78]^2}{[1.07][1.20]^2} \] 4. **Calculate Q:** First, calculate \([1.78]^2\) and \([1.20]^2\): \[ [1.78]^2 = 3.1684 \] \[ [1.20]^2 = 1.44 \] Now substitute these values into the equation for Q: \[ Q = \frac{0.09 \times 3.1684}{1.07 \times 1.44} \] Calculate the numerator: \[ 0.09 \times 3.1684 = 0.286156 \] Calculate the denominator: \[ 1.07 \times 1.44 = 1.5408 \] Now calculate Q: \[ Q = \frac{0.286156}{1.5408} \approx 0.186 \] 5. **Compare Q with Kc:** Given \(K_c = 3.6\) and we calculated \(Q \approx 0.186\). Since \(Q < K_c\), the reaction will shift to the right (towards the products) to reach equilibrium. 6. **Conclusion:** More \(CS_2\) and \(H_2\) will be formed as the reaction proceeds forward. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that the reaction will shift to the right, producing more \(CS_2\) and \(H_2\). ---
