Mass action ratio or reaction quotient Q for a reaction can be calculated using the law of mass actionl, A(g)+B(g)hArrC(g)+D(g) Q=([C][D])/([A][B]) The value of Q decides whether the reaction is at equilibrium or not. At equilibrium, Q=K For non-equilibrium process QneK When QgtK, reaction will be favoured in backward direction and when QltK, it will be favoured in forward direction. In the following reaction : 2SO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g)hArr2SO_(3)(g) The equilibrium is not attained. The rate of forward reaction is greater than that of backward reaction. Thus, which of the following is the correct relation between K_(p) and Q_(p)?

In the following reaction : 2SO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g)hArr2SO_(3)(g) The equilibrium is not attained. The rate of forward reaction is greater than that of backward reaction. Thus, which of the following is the correct relation between K_(p) and Q_(p)?
Answer» <P>`K_(p)=Q_(p)` `Q_(p)ltK_(p)` `Q_(p)ltK_(p)` `K_(p)=Q_(p)=1` ANSWER :C
