At 430°C, the equilibrium constant (KP) for the reaction   2NO(g) + O2(g) ⇆ 2NO2(g)   is 1.5 × 105. In one experiment, the initial pressures of NO, O2, and NO2 are 6.0× 10−3 atm, 2.8× 10−2 atm, and 0.22 atm, respectively. Calculate QP and predict the direction that the net reaction will shift to reach equilibrium. What is QP for the experiment?
