    [N₂O₅]<<[NO₂] because a small K value indicate that the formation of the is not favoured at equilibrium.

    Explanation:

    * the question appear to be incomplete, as the first part of it is missing out

    At night an equilibrium reaction between two different nitrogen compounds generates N2O5 in the atmosphere as represented below

    NO3 (g) + NO2 (g) N2O5 (g)

    K=2.6x10^-11

    Options:

    a.) |N2O5|<<|NO3| because a small value of K indicates that the consumption of reactants is favored at equilibrium.

    b.) |NO2|<<|N2O5| because a small value of K indicates that the consumption of reactants is favored at equilibrium.

    c.) |NO2|<<|NO3| because a small value of K indicates that the formation of products is not favored at equilibrium.

    d.) |N2O5| << |NO2| because a small value of K indicates that the formation of products is not favored at equilibrium.
