Answer:
The mixture is not in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to the left.
Explanation:
<em>Based on the equilibrium:</em>
<em>Fe³⁺+ HSCN ⇄ FeSCN²⁺ + H⁺</em>
<em>kc = 30 = [FeSCN²⁺] [H⁺] / [Fe³⁺] [HSCN]</em>
Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium. The reaction is in equilibrium when the ratio of concentrations = kc
Q is the same expression than kc but with [] that are not in equilibrium
Replacing:
Q = [10.0M] [1.0M] / [0.1M] [0.1M]
Q = 1000
As Q > kc, the reaction will shift to the left in order to produce Fe³⁺ and HSCN untill Q = Kc
