Interpretation:
Whether the reaction will proceed to the right, the left, or neither to achieve equilibrium for each of the given diagrams is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
For a general reaction:
Reaction quotient is defined as the ratio of concentration of products and reactants of chemical species present in the reaction mixture at a given point of time. It is denoted with
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products and the concentration of reactants, which are in equilibrium, and its value is constant at a particular temperature. It denoted by K.
Here,
A and B are reactants, C and D are products, and
At equilibrium,
The equilibrium concentration of reactants and products, present in liquid or solid phase, in the reaction is considered to be
