1.	How can you predict the following stages of a reaction by comparing the value of K_(c) and Q_(c)? (i) Net reaction proceeds in the forward direction. (ii) Netreaction proceeds in the backward direction. (iii) No net reaction occurs.
Answer» Solution :When `Q_(c) LT K_(c)`, net reaction PROCEEDS in the forward DIRECTION. (ii) When `Q_(c) gt K_(c)`, net reaction proceeds in the BACKWARD direction. (iii) When `Q_(c) = K_(c)`, reaction is in equilibrium and no net reaction occurs.
