Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those obtained when gasoline burns in an automobile engine. At 2000°C, K for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO(g) is 0.01. Report the value of Q and predict the direction in which the system will move to reach equilibrium at 2000°C if 0.10 moles of N2, 0.16 moles of O2, and 0.24 moles of NO are placed in a 1.50-liter container.

Question

Nitric oxide, an important pollutant in air, is formed from the elements nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures, such as those obtained when gasoline burns in an automobile engine. At 2000°C, K for the reaction N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO(g) is 0.01.

Report the value of Q and predict the direction in which the system will move to reach equilibrium at 2000°C if 0.10 moles of N2, 0.16 moles of O2, and 0.24 moles of NO are placed in a 1.50-liter container.
