2SO3(g)2SO2(g) + O2(g)
A reaction mixture was found to contain 0.0410 moles of
SO3(g), 0.0419 moles of
SO₂ (g), and 0.0451 moles of
O₂ (g), in a 1.00 liter container.
Calculate Qe
Qe =
Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, what direction must it run in order to reach
equilibrium?
The reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
The reaction must run in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
The reaction is at equilibrium.
