Question
Select all of the correct statements about reaction quotients and equilibrium constants from the choices below.
A reaction quotient equals the equilibrium constant at equilibrium.
The value of K does not change as a reaction progresses toward equilibrium.
As a reaction approaches equilibrium its Q value rises and its K value falls until they are equal.
As concentrations change Q changes, whereas K stays constant.
As a reaction progresses forward toward equilibrium K rises until it reaches Q.
If Q > K the reaction must progress forward to attain equilibrium.
Explanation / Answer
for a reaction A+B--->C Q =reaction coefficient and K= equilibrium constnat
Q= [C]/ [A]/[B] and K= [C]/ [A][B]
At equilibrium Q= K
The value of K is defined at equilibrium and hence for a given reaction it is fixed.
It is not possible to say Q value rises or decreases and K values remains constant
With change in concentration Q changes , but K remains constant
if Q< K the reaction must progress forward to attain equilibbrium
