Consider the following equilibrium: I N₂O4(g) ⇒ 2 NO2(g) The equilibrium constant for this system is 0.133. If the reaction quotient for the system is 0.782, which way would the equilibrium shift? The equilibrium would shift to the left The equilibrium would shift to the right There would be no shift in the equilibrium There is not enough information to determine which way the equilibrium would shift
