Your answer is going to be b
The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements.
For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Answer:
The value of Q must be less than that of K.
Explanation:
The difference of K and Q can be understood with the help of an example as follows
A ⇄ B
In this reaction A is converted into B but after some A is converted , forward reaction stops At this point , let equilibrium concentration of B be [B] and let equilibrium concentration of A be [A]
In this case ratio of [B] and [A] that is
K = [B] / [A] which is called equilibrium constant.
But if we measure the concentration of A and B ,before equilibrium is reached , then the ratio of the concentration of A and B will be called Q. As reaction continues concentration of A increases and concentration of B decreases. Hence Q tends to be equal to K.
Q = [B] / [A] . It is clear that Q < K before equilibrium.
If Q < K , reaction will proceed towards equilibrium or forward reaction will
proceed .
