Select the correct statements out of I, II and III.
I. Reaction quotient has maximum value at point $A$.
II. Reaction proceeds left to right at a point when $[N_2O_4] = [NO_2] =0.1\, m$.
III. $K_c=Q$ when point $D$ or $F$ is reached.

Equilibrium

Solution:

I. $Q=\frac{\left[NO_{2}\right]^{2}}{\left[N_{2}O_{4}\right]}$
Since, $[NO_2]$ is minimum and $[N_2O_4]$ is maximum at point $A$, hence $Q$ is minimum at this point. Thus, false.
II. $Q=\frac{\left(0.1\right)^{2}}{\left(0.1\right)}=0.1 < K_{c}$
Thus, reaction proceeds left to right. Thus, true.
III. $K_c = Q$ when equilibrium is reached at point $D$ or $F$.
Thus, true.
