SO2(g) + NO2(g) NO(g) + SO3(g)
Reaction quotient,
Q = [NO][SO3]/[SO2][NO2]
= (0.9)(1.7)/(0.07)(1.3)
= 16.8
Given, the equilibrium constant, Keq = 10.8
Thus, Q Keq. Hence, the system is not at equilibrium.
Actually, Q > Keq. This implies that the system has more products than reactants.
Hence, the system will shift in the backward or reverse direction to reach equilibrium.
