Question

For a reaction the value of Q greater than K indicates that the net reaction is proceeding in backward direction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The value of the reaction quotient Q is greater than the value of the equilibrium constant K. Hence, the concentration of products is much higher than the equilibrium concentration of products and the concentration of reactants is much smaller than the equilibrium concentration of reactants. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.
