Consider the reaction 2 SO₂(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) at 1000 K. In a 1.00 L reaction vessel, 0.440 mol SO₂, 0.220 mol O₂ and 0.440 mol SO3 are introduced simultaneously. If the Kç is 2.82 x 10², which of the statements below is TRUE? O Q> Kc so the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction to attain equilibrium. O The reaction is at equilibrium since T is constant. O Kp = Kc since T is constant. O Q< Kc so the reaction will proceed forward and form more SO3 to attain equilibrium.

Question
Consider the reaction 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) at 1000 K. In a 1.00 L reaction vessel, 0.440 mol SO2, 0.220
mol O₂ and 0.440 mol SO3 are introduced simultaneously. If the Kç is 2.82 x 10², which of the statements
below is TRUE?
Q > Kc so the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction to attain equilibrium.
The reaction is at equilibrium since T is constant.
O Kp = Kc since T is constant.
O Q< Kc so the reaction will proceed forward and form more SO3 to attain equilibrium.
