Dynamic equilibrium
Occurs when a reaction and it’s reverse reaction proceed at the same rate
A catalyst does what to the activation barrier
It lowers activation energy barrier so less energy for the reaction
K>1 it favors the
Products
K<1 it favors the
Reactants
Q>K what does that mean
The reverse reaction will will proceed to form more reactants
Q<K what does that mean
It will go to form more products ( you can draw it out)
