Question

Look at the reaction below and state which direction the reaction would shift:

2Hg0 <=> 2Hg +O2

Answer 1

there is no shift in the state

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is - There is no shift in the state.

Reason -

If K > Q, a reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into products. If K < Q, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, converting products into reactants. If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium.

where Q, is the reaction Quotient
