At 298 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction

\mathrm{N_2(g)+3H_2(g) \leftrightharpoons 2NH_3(g)}

K_c = 0.40

. A container is loaded with

[\mathrm{N_2}] = 0.50\,\text{M}

[\mathrm{H_2}] = 0.30\,\text{M}

, and

[\mathrm{NH_3}] = 0.10\,\text{M}

. Calculate

Q_c

, compare it with

K_c

, and state the direction in which the reaction will shift to reach equilibrium.
