Consider the gas-phase reaction G(g) ⇌ H(g) + I(g) for which Kc=2.0 at temperature T. Four identical containers (I–IV) at T contain the following numbers of particles.
Container I: 7 G, 2 H, 2 I
Container II: 4 G, 4 H, 2 I
Container III: 5 G, 3 H, 5 I
Container IV: 2 G, 5 H, 6 I
Which container is most likely at equilibrium?
a) Container IV
b) Container I
c) Container II
d) Container III
