3A Finding Equilibrium Constants

Question 1

How is Qc (Reaction quotient) different from finding Kc

Answer 1

Qc is determining the initial concentrations

Question 2

If Qc>Kc:

Answer 2

1. If Qc>Kc, system proceeds from right to left to reach equilibrium

Question 3

If Qc=Kc:

Answer 3

The system is at equilibrium

Question 4

If Qc < Kc

Answer 4

The system proceeds from left to right to reach equilibrium
