Chemistry Equilibrium (Can Someone Answer This)

Question

Methanol, CH₃OH, is manufactured industrially by the reaction

CO_(g) + 2H_2(g) <--------> CH₃OH_(g)

A gaseous mixture at 500K initially is 0.020 M CH₃OH, 0.10 M CO, and 0.10 M H₂. Will the system proceed toward the products or the reactants if this mixture goes to equilibrium? The equilibrium constant K_c equals 10.5 at 500 K. Justify your answer with a calculation.

Answer 1

CO_(g)  + 2H_2(g) <===> CH₃OH_(g)

0.1............0.1........................0.02.........initial

Q = [CH₃OH] / [CO][H₂]² = 0.02 / (0.1)(0.1)² = 0.02 / 0.001

Q = 20

The reaction will proceed toward the REACTANTS because the reaction ratio Q is > Kc and so will have to make more product in order to reach a K = 10.5
