Question

The reaction quotient (Q) for a system is 3.4 x 10^3. If the equilibrium constant (K) for the system is 1.2 x 10^?2, what will happen as the reaction mixture tries to approach equilibrium?

1. The equilibrium constant will increase until it equals the reaction quotient.

2. There will be a net gain in product(s).

3. There will be a net gain in reactant(s).

4. There will be a net gain in both product(s) and reactant(s).

5. The equilibrium constant will decrease until it equals the reaction quotient.

Explanation / Answer

5. The equilibrium constant will decrease until it equals the reaction quotient.
