Question
For the reaction:

\[ 2 \text{SO}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{SO}_3(g) \]

the equilibrium constant is \( K_c = 15 \, \text{M}^{-1} \) at 850 K.

Three sets of concentrations are given for the three gases in the reaction. For each set, predict the direction in which the net reaction will proceed toward equilibrium.

- **Right Box (Reaction shifts Right):**
  - Empty (to be filled based on calculations).

**Answer Bank:**

1. \([ \text{SO}_2 ] = 0.20 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{O}_2 ] = 0.60 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{SO}_3 ] = 0.60 \, \text{M}\)

2. \([ \text{SO}_2 ] = 0.72 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{O}_2 ] = 0.69 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{SO}_3 ] = 0.63 \, \text{M}\)  

3. \([ \text{SO}_2 ] = 0.12 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{O}_2 ] = 0.12 \, \text{M}\)  
   \([ \text{SO}_3 ] = 0.56 \, \text{M}\)  

Determine the reaction quotient \( Q_c \) for each set and compare it with \( K_c \) to find the direction the reaction will proceed to reach equilibrium.

Steps:
1. Calculate \( Q_c = \frac{[\text{SO}_3]^2}{[\text{SO}_2]^2 [\text{O}_2]} \) for each set.
2. Compare \( Q_c \) with \( K_c \):
   - If \( Q_c < K_c \): Reaction shifts right.
   - If \( Q_c > K_c \

Expert Solution
Step 1

The given reaction is:

2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)

1) [SO2] = 0.20 M

    [O2] =0.60 M

    [SO3]=0.60 M

Calculation of Qc:

Qc=[SO3]2[SO2]2[O2]=0.60 M20.60 M0.20 M2=15 M-1

Since Qc=Kc, thus there will be no change.
