At 100oC, the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction COCl2(g) = CO(g) + Cl2(g) has a value of 2.19 x 10-10. Is the following mixture at equilibrium? If not, indicate the direction in which the reaction must proceed to achieve equilibrium.
[COCl2] = 5.00 x 10-2 M, [CO] = [Cl2] = 3.31 x 10-6 M
options:
yes, the system is already at equilibrium
no, the forward reaction is favored
no, the reverse reaction is favored
