3

. The following concentrations are present:  

[Cl

-

] = 0.50 mol/L; [ClO

3

-

] = 0.32 mol/L; [ClO

-

] = 0.24 mol/L. Is the mixture at 

equilibrium and, if not, in which direction will reaction proceed?  

a.

 

The system is at equilibrium.  

b.

 

The system is not at equilibrium; reaction will proceed left to right.  

c.

 

The system is not at equilibrium; reaction will proceed right to left.  

d.

 

The system cannot reach equilibrium since the ClO

3

-

 and Cl

-

 concentrations are 

not in the stoichiometric ratio.  

e.

 

There is not enough information to tell.
