Reaction Quotient (Q)
Value of the equilibrium expression at any point in the reaction
Equilibrium constant (K)
Value of the equilibrium expression for the system at equilibrium
most stable product-to-reactant ratio
Q =
Where is the system right now?
K =
Where does the system want to end up?
Q<K
Currently too much reactant/not enough product to be at equilibrium
Reaction runs forward to reach equilibrium
Q>K
Currently too much product/not enough reactant to be at equilibrium
Reaction runs in reverse to reach equilibrium
Q=K
System is at equilibrium
Reaction will not proceed in either direction
