C, the equilibrium constant (KP) for the
reaction
2NO(g)
+ O2(g) ⇆ 2NO2(g)
is 1.5

105. In one experiment, the initial pressures of NO,
O2, and NO2 are 7.4
×
10−3 atm, 4.2
×
10−2 atm, and
0.20 atm,
respectively. Calculate QP and predict the
direction that the net reaction will shift to reach
equilibrium.
What is QP for the experiment?
In which direction will the system proceed to reach equilibrium?...
