Q

[605110118]

Can the reactant quotient apply to both concentration and partial pressure, just as K does?

[Jada Brown 2H]

Yes, I believe it can be applied to both.

[vanessas0123]

Yes. You calculate it the same way as K, except the reaction is simply not at equilibrium.

[Ally Huang- 1F]

The reaction quotient can be calculated for partial pressures and concentrations, but when comparing Q to K it is important to compare the reaction quotient for partial pressures to the equilibrium constant to partial pressures, not the equilibrium constant for concentration.

[Cooper Baddley 1F]

Q is basically the same thing as K but the reaction is not at equilibrium, so yes it can.

[Edmund Zhi 2B]

Yup, it is a ratio!

[005333065]

Q is not a fixed ratio like K is. Which means that Q is the ratio of the concentrations and the partial pressures of the products to those of the reactants at that moment in the reaction.It is essentially K but doesn't have to be equal to K. So yes, I think it can be applied to both.

[Jesse Anderson-Ramirez 3I]

Q, the reactant quotient, is calculated the same way as K, but Q is not in equilibrium.

[KHowe_1D]

Yes I believe Q can be applied to both concentration and partial pressure.

[Nikki Razal 1L]

Yes! Q or Qc or Qp is calculated the same way as K :)

[Emily Lo 1J]

Yes it can apply to both! They are both calculated the same way. Just the only difference between the two is that K is at equilibrium while Q can be calculated at anytime in the reaction.
