Question

What is the relationship between Q and Kc?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Q can be used to determine which direction a reaction will shift to reach equilibrium. If K > Q, a reaction will proceed forward, converting reactants into products. If K < Q, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, converting products into reactants. If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium.

Answer 2

Answer:

Situation 1: Q = K

Explanation:

When Q=K, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to either the left or the right. The value of Kc at 483 K is 14.5. If Q=14.5, the reaction is in equilibrium and will be no evolution of the reaction either forward or backwards
