Consider the following reaction and its equilibrium constant: SO2(g) + NO2(8) - SO3(g) + NO(g) Kc=0.33 A reaction mixture contains 1.0 mol L-1 SO2, 0.50 mol L-1 NO2,0.50 mol L-1 SO3, and 1.0 mol L-1 NO. Which of the following statements is TRUE concerning this system?
A) The reaction will shift in the direction of reactants.
B) The system is at equilibrium.
C) The reaction quotient will decrease.
D) The reaction will shift in the direction of products.
E) The equilibrium constant will decrease.
Answer:
Step 1: Explanation
Kc is defined as the amounts of products and reactants present at equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction at a given temperature.
Reaction quotient (Qc) is defined as the amounts of products and reactants in a chemical reaction at a given point in time.
To predict the direction of equilibrium of a reaction, the reaction quotient is used.
The reaction quotient, Qc, is calculated in the same way as the equilibrium constant calculated by using the current concentrations.
Once found, the reaction quotient is compared to the equilibrium constant such as
Step 2 : Calculate the Qc
Given,
[SO3] = 0.50 mol/L
[NO] = 1 mol/L
[SO2] = 1 mol/L
[NO2] = 0.50 mol/L
SO2(g) + NO2(g) <-----> SO3(g) + NO(g)
we know, the Qc expression can be written as
Qc = [SO3] × [ NO] / [SO2] × [NO2]
on substituting the values
=> Qc = ( 0.50) × ( 1) / ( 1) ×( 0.50 ) = 1
Step 3 : Compare Qc and Kc
Given,
Kc = 0.33
We got Qc = 1
here, Qc > Kc, So here there are more products present than equilibrium and the reaction will need to produce more reactants shifting the reaction to the left i.e the reaction proceed in backward direction towards reactants and for the equilibrium there will need to be decrease in reaction quotient
So correct option
The reaction will shift in the direction of reactants -----> option(A)
The reaction quotient will decrease.-----> option(C)

I'll rate first right answer. The equilibrium constant for the reaction SO2(g)+NO2(g)⇌SO3(g)+NO(g) is 3.1. Find the amount of NO2 that must be added to 2.6 mol of SO2 in order to form 1.1 mol of SO3 at equilibrium.
The reaction NO2(g) + SO2(g) ⇌NO (g) + SO3(g) has a Kc =10 under some conditions. If the initial concentrations of both NO2 and SO2 are 0.5 M, then calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all four species. [NO2]eq= __________ [SO2]eq= __________ [NO]eq= __________ [SO3]eq= _________
