  3. Question 3

    2 marks · Easy

    A system is at equilibrium with the following reaction:

    At equilibrium, the concentration of Z is 4.0 mol/dm^3. If 2.0 mol/dm^3 of Z is suddenly removed, how many moles per dm^3 of Z will form to restore equilibrium? Assume all change is due to the forward reaction.
