The given sentence is part of a longer question.

I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:

For the reaction N2O4<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm<span>).  If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?


(a) Q = K<span>;   The reaction </span>is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the right.
(c) Q > K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the left.

The answer is the option (c) Q > K<span>; The reaction will proceed to the </span>left, since Qp<span> = </span>1<span>, and 1 > 0.15.</span>
Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.

Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.

The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.

At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp

If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,

If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.

Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.

Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Answer:

Explanation:

1 =  The given chemical reaction does not follow the law of conservation of mass because,

2 = Four hydrogen atoms are present in reactant side and two hydrogen atoms are present in product side.

3 = 1 ) The given chemical reaction does not follow the law of conservation of mass because,

CH₄ + O₂     →    CO₂  + H₂O

16 g  + 32 g       44 g  +  18 g

 48 g                        62 g

Law of conservation of mass:

This law stated that mass can not be created or destroyed in chemical reaction. It just changed from one to another form.

For example:

C₂H₄   +   3O₂   →    2CO₂   +  2H₂O

28 g   + 96 g    =      88 g  +  36 g

   124  g           =      124 g
