Question

The value of equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction is $3\times {10}^{-2}$. If the reaction quotient for the same reaction is $5\times {10}^{-3}$. Predict the direction of equilibrium reaction.

• A. the reaction proceeds in forward direction
• B. the reaction proceeds in backward direction
• C. the reaction can proceeds in any direction
• D. the reaction proceeds depending upon the substance

Answer 1

The correct option is A the reaction proceeds in forward direction

The value of equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction is $3\times {10}^{-2}$. If the reaction quotient for the same reaction is $5\times {10}^{-3}$ then the direction of equilibrium reaction the reaction proceeds in forward direction.
