NO2 is involved in the formation of smog and acid rain. A reaction that is important in the formation of NO2 is O3(g) + NO(g) ⇌ O2(g) + NO2(g) KC = 6.0 x 1034. If the air over a section of New Delhi contained 1.0 x 10-6 M of O3, 1.0 x 10-5 M of NO, 2.5 x 10-4 M of NO2 and 8.2 x 10-3 of O2, what can we conclude?
A. there will be a tendency to form more NO and O2
B. there will be a tendency to form more NO2 and O2
C. there will be a tendency to form more NO2 and O3
D. there will no tendency for change because the reaction is at equilibrium
