Question

For the reaction $2Aightleftharpoons B+C$, $K_c=4	imes10^{-3}$. At a given time, the composition of reaction mixture is: $[A]=[B]=[C]=2	imes10^{-3}$ M. Then, which of the following is correct?

[Solution by Claude - not from source] $Q_c=\frac{[B][C]}{[A]^2}=\frac{(2	imes10^{-3})^2}{(2	imes10^{-3})^2}=1>K_c$, so the reaction proceeds backward. Answer (1).
