<h3>Further explanation</h3>The reaction quotient (Q) : determine a reaction has reached equilibrium
For reaction :
aA+bB⇔cC+dD
Comparing Q with K( the equilibrium constant) :
K is the product of ions in an equilibrium saturated state
Q is the product of the ion ions from the reacting substance
Q <K = solution has not occurred precipitation, the ratio of the products to reactants is less than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the right (products)
Q = Ksp = saturated solution, exactly the precipitate will occur, the system at equilibrium
Q> K = sediment solution, the ratio of the products to reactants is greater than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
Keq = 6.16 x 10⁻³
Q for reaction N₂O₄(0) ⇒ 2NO₂(g)
Setup 1 :
Q<K⇒The reaction moved to the right (products)
Setup 2 :
Q=K⇒the system at equilibrium
Setup 3 :
Q>K⇒The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
