Question

What do you think will happen if reaction quotient is smaller than the equilibrium constant?

• A. equilibrium constant will change
• B. reaction quotient remains constant
• C. reaction quotient increases continuously
• D. reaction quotient increases till KC

Answer 1

Answer:

D. reaction quotient increases till KC

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant KC, the reaction quotient will tend to increase and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction, till it reaches the value of the equilibrium constant.
