Question

For the reaction
CO +H2 ~~ CH3OH kc=14.5 at 500K
Predict whether a mixture that contains 1.5mol of h2,1.00mol of co,and0.5 mol of ch3oh in a 10.0l vessel at 500k is at equilibrium...If not indicate the direction in which the net reaction will occur to reach equilibrium

Answer 1

Qc = [CH3OH]/[CO][H2]

= (0.5/10)/{(1/10)*(1.5/10)}

= 3.33

Since Qc < Kc the reaction​ will proceed in the forward direction
