$H_2O_{(g)} + CO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + CO_{2(g)} + \text{Heat}$

  • A
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will decrease
  • B
    Neither the $[CO]$ nor the $[CO_2]$ will change
  • C
    The $[CO]$ will decrease and the $[CO_2]$ will increase
  • D
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will increase

$A$ mixture of $1.57 \ mol$ of $N_2$,$1.92 \ mol$ of $H_2$ and $8.13 \ mol$ of $NH_3$ is introduced into a $20 \ L$ reaction vessel at $500 \ K$. At this temperature,the equilibrium constant,$K_c$ for the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longleftrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$ is $1.7 \times 10^2$. Is the reaction mixture at equilibrium?
