Question
## Calculating the Reaction Quotient, Q

### Chemical Equation
\[ 2H_2(g) + S_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2H_2S(g) \]
### Equilibrium Constant
\[ K = 1.08 \times 10^7 \]

### Current Concentrations
The current concentrations for the system are given below. What is the reaction quotient, Q, for the system?
\[ [H_2] = 0.500 M \]
\[ [S_2] = 0.500 M \]
\[ [H_2S] = 9.00 M \]

### Reaction Quotient Formula
The reaction quotient, Q, is calculated using the same formula as the equilibrium constant, K, but with the current (non-equilibrium) concentrations of the reactants and products.

\[ Q = \frac{[H_2S]^2}{[H_2]^2[S_2]} \]

### Enter Your Calculation
Please enter your calculated value for the reaction quotient, Q, in the space provided below:

\[ Q = \boxed{?} \]

#### Reaction Quotient Input
\[ \text{Reaction Quotient} \]
\[ \fbox{\hspace{2cm}} \]

\[ \text{Enter} \]

Use the provided values to compute Q and determine whether the system is at equilibrium (Q = K), or if the reaction will shift left (Q > K) or right (Q < K) to reach equilibrium.
