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:
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.
