Chemistry Equilibrium
1. Problem: Determine the reaction direction or equilibrium status for the reaction $$2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)$$ with equilibrium constant $$K=0.33$$ and initial concentrations $$[SO_2]=0.39\,M$$, $$[O_2]=0.14\,M$$, $$[SO_3]=0.11\,M$$.
2. Calculate the reaction quotient $$Q$$:
$$Q=\frac{[SO_3]^2}{[SO_2]^2[O_2]}=\frac{(0.11)^2}{(0.39)^2 \times 0.14} = \frac{0.0121}{0.0213} \approx 0.568$$
3. Compare $$Q$$ to $$K$$:
Since $$Q=0.568 > K=0.33$$, the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant.
4. Interpretation:
When $$Q > K$$, the reaction will shift toward the reactants to reach equilibrium.
5. Final answer:
The reaction will shift in the direction of reactants.
