For the Following Reaction

Question 5

Multiple Choice

For the following reaction:
2 NOCl(g) For the following reaction: 2 NOCl(g)    2 NO(g)  + Cl<sub>2</sub>(g)      K<sub>c</sub> = 5.6 x 10<sup>-6</sup> (at 400 K)   If (NOCl)  = 0.0222 M, (Cl<sub>2</sub>)  = 0.0222 M, and (NO)  = 0.989  M at some moment in time, we can conclude that A)  the reaction is at equilibrium. B)  some of the NOCl must be converted to NO and Cl<sub>2</sub> to reach equilibrium. C)  some of the NO and Cl<sub>2</sub> must be converted to NOCl to reach equilibrium. D)  it is impossible to determine which way the reaction must go to reach equilibrium. E)  the reaction can never reach equilibrium. 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g)     Kc = 5.6 x 10-6 (at 400 K)

If (NOCl) = 0.0222 M, (Cl2) = 0.0222 M, and (NO) = 0.989
M at some moment in time, we can conclude that
