Consider the following equilibrium: 
2NO(g)  N2(g) + O2(g); Keq = 2.1 × 1030
What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?

[NO]2 > [N2][O2]

[NO]2 < [N2][O2]

[NO] > [N2][O2]

[NO]2 = [N2][O2]

what does Keq mean anyways

sweetburger · Answer

im going to assume that your Keq expression should look like this but isnt (Keq=2.1x10^30) this means that [N2][O2]>[NO]^2

i dont think that it is part of the answer choice

You have 2NO --- N2 + O2
 
The equilibrium expression for this is [n2][O2]/[NO]^2

Your value for Keq is roughly 2.1x10^30 and remember any Keq that's greater than one will imply that the products are favored.

Because you have such a large valve this means that the concentration of [NO]^2 < [N2][O2]
