<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

Groundwater is an important component as it provides water for daily use. It is also used in irrigation. Groundwater becomes polluted when materials from the land's surface make their way through the soil and get into the water. Chemicals such as oil, fuels, gasoline, and pesticides get into the water which makes the groundwater dangerous and polluted for use. Nitrates and sulfates discharged from the power plants can contaminate the groundwater too.

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO (g) is Keq = 4.20 ⋅ 10-31 at 30 °C. At equilibrium, __

pychu [463]

Answer:

At equilibrium, reactants predominate.

Explanation:

For every reaction, the equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants. Thus, for the reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO the expression of its equilibrium constant is:

$Keq = \frac{[NO]^{2}}{[O_{2} ][N_{2}]}$

Since the equilibrium constant is Keq = 4.20x10-31 the concentration of reactants O2 and N2 must be much higher than products to obtain such a small number as 4.20x10-31 at the equilibrium. Hence, at equilibrium reactants predominate.
