Answer:
Q = 0.50
No
Left
Explanation:
At a generic reversible equation
aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD
The reaction coefficient (Q) is the ratio of the substances concentrations:
Solids and liquid water are not considered in this calculus.
When the reaction achieves equilibrium (concentrations are constant), the Q value is named as Kc, which is the equilibrium constant of the reaction. If Q > Kc, it indicates that the concentration of the products is higher, so, the reaction must progress to the left and form more reactants; if Q < Kc, than the concentrations of the reactants, are higher, so, the reaction progress to the right.
In this case:
Q =
Q = 0.50
So, Q > Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium and it progresses to the left.
