Use the reaction 2CO(g) + O₂(g)  2CO₂(g) for the following questions.

i. Write the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

ii. What does Le Châtelier's principle predict would happen to the equilibrium conditions if CO₂ were added to the system?

iii. What would happen to the equilibrium if the pressure were increased?

iv. A gas mixture contains 4.8  10^-4 M CO and 3.5  10^-2 M O₂, and K_eq = 3.58  10^-4. What would the equilibrium concentration of CO₂ be at these conditions?

v. If at another temperature the K_eq = 8.28  10¹⁰, would the reaction favor product formation or reactants? Explain your answer.
