What happens to a reaction when reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant?(a) Forward reaction(b) Equilibrium(c) Reverse reaction(d) No changeThe question was asked in homework.Question is taken from High Temperature Gases topic in section Properties of High Temperature Gases of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct answer is (C) Reverse reaction

Easiest explanation: The reaction quotient gives the same expression as the equilibrium constant for a reaction that is at CHEMICAL equilibrium. But, for a reaction when the reaction quotient (Q) is GREATER than the equilibrium constant (k), there’s more PRODUCT than the reactant and reverse reaction takes place.
