Answer

Q = 0.031 The mixture is at equilibrium.

Work Step by Step

1. The exponent of each concentration is equal to its balance coefficient. $$Q = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[ aconitate ]}{[ citrate ]}$$ 2. Substitute the values and calculate the quocient value: $$Q= \frac{( 4.0 \times 10^{-5} )}{( 0.00128 )} = 0.031$$ Q = K: The mixture is at equilibrium.
