The value of K (c) for the reaction A ...

The value of `K _(c)` for the reaction ` A hArr B + C` is ` 2. 5 xx 10 ^(-2)` S at given time, the composition of reaction mixture is `[A] = [B] = [C] = 2. 3 xx 10 ^(-3) M.` In which direction will the reaction proceed ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `[A] = [B] =[C] = 2. 3 xx 10 ^(-3) M`
Equilibrium constant `K (C)` for the reaction `= 2. 5 xx 10^( -2)`
Reaction quotient, `Q _(c ) = ([B ] [C])/( [A] ^(2)) = ((2. 3 xx 10 ^(-2) M ) (2. 3 xx 10 ^(-3) M ))/( (2. 3 xx 10 ^(-3) M ) ^(2)) = 1 `
As `Q _(c) gt K _(c)`, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction.
