Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Q and K?
The reaction quotient Q uses the current concentrations at any moment, while the equilibrium constant K uses the concentrations at equilibrium. Comparing them shows which way the reaction will move.
What does it mean when Q is less than K?
When Q is smaller than K there are relatively too few products, so the reaction proceeds forward to make more products until Q rises to equal K.
Do I include solids and liquids?
No. Pure solids and pure liquids are left out of the reaction quotient expression because their activities are taken as one.
