Question

The equilibrium constant is 0.15 at a certain temperature for the reaction:

SiH(g) + 2 Cl2 (g) --> SiCl4 (g) + 2 H2 (g)
Predict the direction in which the system will shift to reach equilibrium given the following initial concentrations:

[SiH4] = 0.022 M; [Cl2] = 0.0061 M; [SiCl4] = 4.2×10-4 M; [H2] = 3.3×10-4 M

Q= [SiCl4] [H22 / [SiH4] [Cl22
 

What is the value of Q for this reaction?
