The value of K_(c) " for the reaction , " 2 A hArr B+C " is "2*0 xx 10

1.	The value of K_(c) " for the reaction , " 2 A hArr B+C " is "2*0 xx 10^(-3)" AT a given time, the composition of the reaction mixture is "[ A] = [B] = [C] = 3 xx 10^(-4) M In which direction , the reaction will proceed ?
Answer» Solution :For the given reaction , `Q_(c) = ([B] [C])/[A]^(2)= ((3 xx 10^(-4)) (3 xx 10^(-4)))/((3 xx 10^(-4)) ^(2)) = 1` Thus , ` Q_(c) gt K_(c).` Hence , the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.
