At 100°C, Kp = 60.6 for the reaction 2 NOBr(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Br2(g) In a given experiment, 1.75 atm of each component is placed in a container. Is the system at equilibrium? If not, in which direction will the reaction proceed?

The system is not at equilibrium.

The reaction will proceed to the right to attain the equilibrium.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

2 NOBr(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Br₂(g)

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is 60.6. To determine if the system is at equilibrium when the pressure of each component is 1.75 atm, we have to calculate the reaction quotient (Q) and compare it with Kp.

Q = [NO]².[Br₂] / [NOBr]²

Q = (1.75)².(1.75) / (1.75)²

Q = 1.75

Since Q ≠ Kp, the system is not at equilibrium.

Since Q < Kp, the reaction will proceed to the right to attain the equilibrium.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
