Keq for the reaction below is 2400. If the initial conditions of the reaction are a 1.0 L flask that contains 0.024 mol NO (g), 2.0 mol N2 (g) and 2.6 moles of O2 (g), determine if this reaction is at equilibrium, and, if not which direction it will shift to reach equilibrium.

The answer to your question is it is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products.

Explanation:

Data

Keq = 2400

Volume = 1 L

moles of NO = 0.024

moles of N₂ = 2

moles of O₂ = 2.6

Process

1.- Determine the concentration of reactants and products

[NO] = 0.024 / 1 = 0.024

[N₂] = 2/1 = 2

[O₂] = 2.6/ 1= 2.6

2.- Balanced chemical reaction

                     N₂ + O₂    ⇒   2NO

3.- Write the equation for the equilibrium of this reaction

                     Keq = [NO]²/[N₂][O₂]

- Substitution

                    Keq = [0.024]² / [2][2.6]

-Simplification

                    Keq = 0.000576 / 5.2

-Result

                    Keq = 1.11 x 10⁻⁴

Conclusion

It is not at equilibrium, it will move to the products because the experimental Keq was lower than the Keq theoretical-

                         1.11 x 10⁻⁴ < 2400

As a wave travels through a medium, it will often reach the end of the medium and encounter an obstacle or perhaps another medium through which it could travel. The behavior of a wave (or pulse) upon reaching the end of a medium is referred to as boundary behavior. When one medium ends, another medium begins; the interface of the two media is referred to as the boundary and the behavior of a wave at that boundary is described as its boundary behavior. The questions that are listed above are the types of questions we seek to answer when we investigate the boundary behavior of waves.
