Reaction Quotient

Rarely Tested

  • $$Q = \frac{[C]_t^c [D]_t^d}{[A]_t^a [B]_t^b}$$
  • Application Framework:
    • $$Q < K$$: Reaction shifts Forward ($$\rightarrow$$)
    • $$Q > K$$: Reaction shifts Backward ($$\leftarrow$$)
    • $$Q = K$$: System is at Equilibrium ($$\rightleftharpoons$$)
  • Notation:
    • $$[X]_t$$ = Active mass measured at any arbitrary time $$t$$
