Cоnsider the reаctiоn: A(аq) ⇌ 2 B(аq) where Kc = 4.1 at 25 °C. If 0.50 M A(aq) and 1.5 M B(aq) are initially present in a 1.0 L flask at 25 °C, what change in cоncentrations (if any) will occur in time? a. [A] will decrease and [B] will decrease. b. [A] will decrease and [B] will increase. c. [A] will increase and [B] will decrease. d. [A] will increase and [B] will increase. e. [A] and [B] remain unchanged.
