Chemical compounds have chemically bonded molecules so that they exhibit different properties (i.e. chemical) compared to the individual molecules comprising the compound. Mixtures are simply the combinations of different molecules and compounds that are not chemically bonded together, and can therefore be separated by physical means. Mixtures usually retain the properties of its components.
The hydrogen and oxygen molecules in a mixture do not form strong bonds between each other. The molecules of both gases are only contained in the same space or volume and the individual molecules retain their chemical properties.
A compound containing hydrogen and oxygen molecules exhibit different chemical (and even physical) properties compared to the individual molecules themselves.
Water for example, is a compound with 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, chemically-bonded together. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable, water is not. Oxygen gas is an essential reagent for combustion (or burning) reactions, water is not.
Thus, throwing a lighted match to a gaseous mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen 
would create fire, or even an explosion (since hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds the reaction). Throwing a match to water vapor 
would not create fire.

Answer:
to the right (products side)
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant K describes the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants at equilibrium. For a general reaction:
a A + b B → c C + d D
The equilibrium constant expression is:
A low value of K indicates that the concentration of products (C and D) is low in relation with the concentration of reactants (A and B).
Conversely, a high value of K indicated that the concentration of products is high compared with the concentration of reactants.
Since K = 6.4 × 10⁹ is a high value, the concentration of products is higher than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. Thus, the position of the equilibrium is favored to the right.
