Reaction Quotient (Q)
A measure of the relative amount of products and reactants present in a reaction at any given time. Used to predict the direction a reversible reaction will shift to reach equilibrium.
K (Equilibrium Constant)
The value of the reaction quotient when the reaction has reached equilibrium.
Q < K
The reaction will shift right, towards products, to reach equilibrium. Reactant heavy.
Q > K
The reaction will shift left, towards reactants, to reach equilibrium. Product heavy.
Q = K
The reaction is at equilibrium and will not shift.
Equilibrium Constant of a Multistep Reaction
The product of the individual equilibrium constants (K's) of each step in the reaction.
