Question
Equilibrium constant, $K_c$ for the reaction
$\text{N}_2\text{ (g) + 3H}_2\text{ (g)}\rightleftharpoons2\text{NH}_3\text{ (g) at 500k is 0.061}$
At a particular time, the analysis shows that composition of the reaction mixture is $3.0 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{~N}_2, 2.0 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{H}_2$ and $0.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{NH}_3$. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not in which direction does the reaction tend to proceed to reach equilibrium?
