Which of the following statements concerning the reaction and the reaction quotient, Q, is true?


H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g)

a. Q = Kc
b. Q > Kc; more HI will be produced.
c. Q > Kc; more H2 and I2 will be produced.
d. Q < Kc; more HI will be produced.
e. Q < Kc; more H2 and I2 will be produced.


Answer: c. Q > Kc; more H2 and I2 will be produced.
