Problem

A rigid 10.0 L vessel at 600 K contains 0.600 mol SO₂(g), 0.300 mol O₂(g), and 0.200 mol SO₃(g). The reaction of interest is 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2 SO₃(g). (a) Calculate the reaction quotient QcQ_c using the given amounts. (b) The total pressure of the mixture is 4.00 atm. Using this information, calculate QpQ_p for the same system.
