A gas mixture consists of 4.45 atm of Cl2O, 4.14 atm of O2, 0.784 atm of Cl2, and 0.14 atm of O3.
1-Calculate the reaction quotient for this system prior to the
establishment of the equilibrium below.
Cl2(g) + O3(g) ⇌ Cl2O(g) + O2(g)
***Report your answer to three significant figures in scientific
notation.
2-If the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 3000 K is
5.65, determine the direction that the reaction will shift in order
to achieve equilibrium.
reaction quotient = [Cl2O + O2 ] /[Cl2 + O3 ]
= [4.45 X 4.14]/[.784X0.14]
= 167.8
Kc = 5.65
qc > Kc, so the reaction moves in backward direction.
