AP Chemistry
7.10 Reaction Quotient and Le Châtelier’s Principle
7.4 Calculating the Equilibrium Constant
7.3 Reaction Quotient and Equilibrium Constant
A student investigates the gas-phase reaction at a constant temperature of \(298\text{ K}\):
\[ 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)} \]
Four separate sealed, rigid \(1.0\text{ L}\) containers are prepared with different amounts of \(\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}\) and \(\text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)}\). The concentrations of the gases in each container are measured after a period of time, as shown in the table below.
Which of the following correctly identifies the mixture that is not at equilibrium and the direction in which the net reaction will proceed to establish equilibrium?

| 3 | \(0.10\) | \(1.0\) |
