At the start of a reaction, there are 0.0249 mol N2, 3.21 x 10-2 mol H2, and 6.42 x 10-4 mol NH3 in a 3.50 L reaction vessel at 37
Question
At the start of a reaction, there are 0.0249 mol N2,
3.21 x 10-2 mol H2, and 6.42 x 10-4 mol NH3 in a
3.50 L reaction vessel at 375°C. If the equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction:
N2(g) + 3H2(g)= 2NH3(g)
is 1.2 at this temperature, decide whether the system is at equilibrium or not. If it is not, predict in which direction, the net reaction will proceed.

Answer:
Explanation:
The reaction is given as:
The reaction quotient is:
From the given information:
TO find each entity in the reaction quotient, we have:
∴
However; given that:
By relating
, we will realize that 
The reaction is said that it is not at equilibrium and for it to be at equilibrium, then the reaction needs to proceed in the forward direction.
