The equilibrium reaction below has the kc = 3.93. if the volume of the system at equilibrium is increased from 2.00 liters to 8.00 liters, how and for what reason will the equilibrium shift? be sure to calculate the value of the reaction quotient, q, and use this to confirm your answer.
co (g) + 3h2(g) -ch4(g) + h2o (g)

Q = 62.9

Q > Kc, so the reaction will proceed to the left so that Q takes the value of Kc.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CO(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇄ CH₄(g) + H₂O(g)

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is:

If the volume is multiplied by 4 (2.00 L → 8.00 L), the concentrations will be divided by 4. The reaction quotient (Q) is:

Q > Kc, so the reaction will proceed to the left so that Q takes the value of Kc.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
