Answer:
The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.
Explanation:
The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:
aA + bB → cC + dD
where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations
Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:
where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.
This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:
- If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
- If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
- If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.
In this case:
Q=100,000
100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)
Q < Kc

Answer:
600 g K₂SO₄
Explanation:
First write down the complete, balanced chemical equation for such question. In this case:
Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ → 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄
Next, calculate molar masses of required compounds mentioned in the question. In this case it is for Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and K₂SO₄.
- Molar mass(MM) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃:
= 2*(MM of Cr) + 3*( MM of S) + 3*4*( MM of O)
= 2*(52) + 3*(32) + 12*(16)
= 104 + 96 + 192
= 392 g
- Molar mass(MM) of K₂SO₄:
= 2*(MM of K) + 1*( MM of S) + 4*( MM of O)
= 2*(39) + 32 + 4*(16)
= 78 + 32 + 64
= 174 g
Here comes the concept of Limiting reagent:
The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. The other reactants present with this are usually in excess and called excess reactants. If quantities of both the reactants are given, then one should apply unitary method and find out the limiting reagent out of the two. Then, determine the amount of product formed or percentage yield.
Also, 1 mole( 392 g) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 3 moles( 174*3 = 522 g) of K₂SO₄.
Using unitary method, if 392g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 522 g of K₂SO₄ , then 450 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ will give how much of K₂SO₄?
Yeild of K₂SO₄ :
That is 599.3 g.
Since we have not considered molecular masses of individual atoms to 6 decimal places, this number can be approximated to 600g.
Therefore, 600g of K₂SO₄ is produced.
