Question 3

(Multiple Choice)

After allowing the reaction to proceed, you find that the the final concentrations of each [C][D][A][B] \frac{[\mathrm{C}][\mathrm{D}]}{[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}]} once equilibrium is achieved is [0.35][0.35][0.65][0.65] \frac{[0.35][0.35]}{[0.65][0.65]}
Will the reaction proceed in a forward manner, namely with production of increased concentrations of products?
