For a given reaction, $2 A \rightleftharpoons B+C$, the equilibrium constant is $2 \times 10^{-3}$. If at any given time the composition of the reaction mixture is $[A]=[B]=[C]=6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{M}$; predict in which direction the reaction will proceed and the correct value for reaction quotient.
- A
Forward direction and 1.0
- B
Backward direction and 1.0
- C
Forward direction and $3 \times 10^{-5}$
- D
Backward direction and $3 \times 10^{-5}$
