Question

A 20.0 L reaction vessel contains 0.016 moles CO2, 1.05 moles of CO, and 2.00 moles of C. The mixture is approaching the following equilibrium:
CO2(g) + C(s) <--> 2CO(g)
a) Calculate the reaction quotient Q.
b) If value of K is 1.17, predict which direction the reaction will go in order to reach equilibrium (to the right, to the left, or no change). Explain your answer.

For a), I get 3.45 for Q. For b), I said that the reaction will shift left to reach equilibrium because Q > K.

Answer 1

I agree with both.

Answer 2

Great, thanks!
