Salutations!
<span>In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?
The technique that John is using is the filtration technique. Filtration is a technique to separate the solid which is insoluble from the liquid. For instance: Sand and water, sand is insoluble, thus it stays in the filter paper, while the water proceeds through the filter paper.
Hope I helped :D</span>
It is the mass of one mole of the substance.
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 .
