At room temperature, the equilibrium constant K_c for the reaction

(a) Is this reaction product-favored or reactant-favored?

(b) In the atmosphere at room temperature the concentration of N₂ is 0.33 mol/L, and the concentration of O₂ is about 25% of that value. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO in the atmosphere produced by the reaction of N₂ and O₂.

(c) How does this affect your answer to Question 11?
