Equilibrium mixture of \(\text{X}_2\), \(\text{Y}_2\), and \(\text{XY}\) at \(T_1 = 500\text{ K}\)
Equilibrium mixture of \(\text{X}_2\), \(\text{Y}_2\), and \(\text{XY}\) at \(T_1 = 500\text{ K}\)
A mixture of \(\text{X}_2\text{(g)}\), \(\text{Y}_2\text{(g)}\), and \(\text{XY}\text{(g)}\) is placed in a rigid \(1.0\text{ L}\) container and allowed to reach chemical equilibrium at a temperature of \(T_1 = 500\text{ K}\), as represented in the diagram.

\[ \text{X}_2\text{(g)} + \text{Y}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{XY}\text{(g)} \quad \Delta H^\circ = -85\text{ kJ/mol}_{\text{rxn}} \]

The temperature of the container is then decreased to \(T_2 = 300\text{ K}\), and the system is allowed to establish a new equilibrium. Which of the following particulate diagrams best represents the system at the new equilibrium at \(T_2\)?
