Question

If concentration quotient, $Q$ is greater than $K_c$, the net reaction is taking place in backward direction.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Can not be predicted
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

True

If concentration quotient, $Q$ is greater than $K_c$,the net reaction is taking place in backward direction. This is because, the concentration of products is higher than the equilibrium concentration and the concentration of reactants is lower than the equilibrium concentration. To attain equilibrium, more of the products will be consumed and more of the reactant s will be formed.
