What Keq PT3
Can Tell Us
1. Whether a reaction is likely to be feasible.
3
◎ If Q is less than Keq, the reaction will
use up the reactant to produce the
products.
◎ The direction is to the right.
4
◎ If Q is greater than Keq, to reach
equilibrium, the products must be
consumed to form the reactants.
◎ The direction is geared towards the
direction of the reactants.
◎ If Q is equal to Keq, the system is at
equilibrium

◎ 2. At 60.2oC the equilibrium constant, Keq,
for the reaction N2O4 (g) ↔ 2NO2 (g) is
8.75 x 10-2. At equilibrium a vessel contains
N2O4 at a concentration of 1.72 x 10-2M.
A. What is the concentration of NO2? [5]
B. Is this a heterogeneous equilibrium or a
homogeneous equilibrium? [2]
C. Does this reaction favor the reactants or
the products?[2]
