Question

Consider the equilibrium

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 NO(g)

At 2300 K the equilibrium constant K = 1.7 × 10^-3. Suppose that 0.0150 mol NO(g), 0.250 mol N₂(g), and 0.250 mol O₂(g) are placed into a 10.0-L flask and heated to 2300 K. The system is not at equilibrium. Determine the direction the reaction must proceed to reach equilibrium and the final equilibrium concentrations of each species.

[N₂] = ______ mol/L

[O₂] = ______ mol/L

[NO] = ______mol/L
