Question

Explain how q reaction would be affected

Answer 1

Q or the Reaction Quotient is the interaction between the reactants and products in a given chemical reaction. The value of Q should be compared to the value of K (which is the value of the reaction at equilibrium) in order to determine which way the reaction should move to achieve equilibrium.If Q is already equal to K, then this indicates that the reaction is in equilibrium. If Q>K, then the reactants are converted to products; If Q<K, then the products are converted to reactants. Either way, the reaction proceeds to move towards equilibrium after some time.
