This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

At a certain temperature, the reaction 2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOCl(g)  has an equilibrium constant Kc of 45.0. A chemist creates a mixture with the following initial concentrations: [NO] = 0.10 M, [Cl₂] = 0.20 M, and [NOCl] = 0.30 M. What will happen as the reaction begins?

A. [NOCl] will increase.

B. [NOCl] will decrease.

C. [NOCl] will stay the same.

D. There is not enough information to answer the question.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) [NOCl] will stay the same.

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2NO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NOCl(g)

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{[NOCl]^2}{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(0.30)^2}{(0.10)^2\times (0.20)}=45

The given equilibrium constant value is, K_c=45

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When Q>K_c that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When Q that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When Q=K_c that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the Q=K_c that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium that means the concentration of NOCl will stay the same.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) [NOCl] will stay the same.

Answer:

All around you there are chemical reactions taking place. Green plants are photosynthesising, car engines are relying on the reaction between petrol and air and your body is performing many complex reactions. In this chapter we will look at two common types of reactions that can occur in the world around you and in the chemistry laboratory. These two types of reactions are acid-base reactions and redox reactions.
