Question

f the value of Q is greater than K for an equilibrium reaction then

	a.	a catalyst is necessary to achieve equilibrium.
	b.	the reaction will proceed to the right until equilibrium is established.
	c.	the reaction will proceed to the left until equilibrium is extablished.
	d.	the reaction will go left or right depending on the reaction stoichiometry.
	e.	Both (a) and (d) are correct.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Equilibrium constant (K) is a constant which defines the ratio of concentration of product and reactant at equilibrium condition while Reaction Quotient (Q) is the ratio of concentration of product and reactant at any time.

At K, the concentration of reactant and product becomes constant while at Q the concentration of product and reactant are variable.

At equilibrium, the value of K is constant while the value of Q is variable.
