Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between the equilibrium constant (K) and the reaction quotient (Q)?
  • Step 1: Understand that K is a number that tells us the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium.
  • Step 2: Know that Q is a number that tells us the ratio of products to reactants at any point in the reaction.
  • Step 3: When a reaction is at equilibrium, the value of Q will be the same as K.
  • Step 4: If Q is less than K, the reaction will move forward to make more products.
  • Step 5: If Q is greater than K, the reaction will move backward to make more reactants.
