3. A certain gas, XY (g) decomposes as represented by the
equation above. A sample of each of the three gases is
put in a previously evacuated container. The initial
partial pressure of the gases are shown in the table

The reaction will form more products.
The reaction will form more reactant.
The mixture is at equilibrium, so there will
be no change.
It cannot be determined unless the volume of
the container is known.
