Answer:
Qc = 6.33 x 10-4 and the concentration of NOBr will increase
Explanation:
2 NOBr (g) → 2NO (g) + Br₂(g)
Qc = Reaction quotient. It tells us the quantity of products and reactants during the reaction at a particular point in time, other than equilibrium.
The expression for Qc is the same for Kc
Qc = ([NO]² . [Br]) / [NOBr]²
Qc = ((1.58x10⁻²)² . 1.29x10⁻²) / (7.13x10⁻²)²
Qc = 6.33x10⁻⁴
You have to compare Qc to Kc to analyse the reaction:
Qc < Kc → Some reagents have not generated products yet.
Reaction tends to Products
Qc > Kc → Reaction tends to Reactants.
Reactants concentration must be increased to make more products
Qc = Kc → Equilibrium
