A scientist is studying a reaction, and places the reactants in a beaker at room temperature. The reaction progresses, and she analyzes the products via NMR. Based on the NMR readout, she determines the reaction proceeds as follows:
$NH_${4}^{+}$(aq) + NO_${2}^{-}$(aq) \rightarrow $N_{2}$(g) $+2H_{2}$O(l)$
In an attempt to better understand the reaction process, she varies the concentrations of the reactants and studies how the rate of the reaction changes. The table below shows the reaction concentrations as she makes modifications in three experimental trials.
At a particular time point the reaction quotient of the above reaction is calculated to be 1.5. The equilibrium constant at the specific conditions assumed in the passage is 0.06. Which of the following statements is true regarding the reaction equilibrium?
