A student investigates the four gas-phase equilibrium systems summarized in the table below at \(700\text{ K}\).

ReactionEquation\(K_c\) at \(700\text{ K}\)
W\(\text{H}_2(g) + \text{I}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{HI}(g)\)\(54\)
X\(\text{H}_2(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{HCl}(g)\)\(4.0 \times 10^8\)
Y\(\text{N}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}(g)\)\(2.5 \times 10^{-10}\)
Z\(\text{CO}(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{H}_2(g)\)\(8.0\)

Four separate rigid \(1.0\text{ L}\) containers are each initially loaded with \(1.0\text{ mol}\) of each gaseous reactant and no products for one of the reactions at \(700\text{ K}\). Which of the following correctly ranks the four reactions in order of greatest to least extent of reaction (percent conversion of reactants to products) at equilibrium?
