1
Q
• If a reaction is not at chemical equilibrium, the ratio of products to reactants (raised to their respective powers) will adjust toward the equilibrium constant (Keq).
A
• If a reaction is not at chemical equilibrium, the ratio of products to reactants (raised to their respective powers) will adjust toward the equilibrium constant (Keq).

Q
• The direction in which the reaction will progress can be determined by comparing the reaction quotient (Q) and Keq.
