Reaction Quotient and Equilibrium Shift

Question

For the reaction $$\mathrm{A(g) + 2B(g) \rightleftharpoons 3C(g)}$$, the equilibrium constant is $$K_c = 0.25$$ at a certain temperature. A mixture is prepared with initial concentrations of $$[A] = 0.10~\mathrm{M}$$, $$[B] = 0.20~\mathrm{M}$$, and $$[C] = 0.15~\mathrm{M}$$. What will be the approximate concentration of C when the system reaches equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

Less than 0.15 M

Answer
