[NO] -0.089 M • [H₂] -0.035 M . [N₂] -0.008 M . [H₂0] -0.098 M Based on the concentrations she measured, is this reaction currently at equilibrium? If not, which way must the reaction shift to attain equilibrium? O Yes, it is at equilibrium O No, it is not at equilibrium. It needs to shift toward the products O No, it is not at equilibrium. It needs to shift toward the reactants O There is not enough information to solve this problem.
