Question

If concentration quotient of reaction is less than K, the net reaction is proceeding in the backward direction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The value of the reaction quotient Q is less than the value of the equilibrium constant K. Hence, the concentration of products is lower than the equilibrium concentration of products and the concentration of reactants is higher than the equilibrium concentration of reactants. Hence, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction.
