Calculating Reaction Quotient with Solids

[Kylie Joe 2A]

When calculating the reaction quotient but having only solids for reactants (ex. Problem 2 in Pizza Rolls) do we just regard the denominator of the reaction quotient as 1?

[Marylyn Makar 1B]

Hi! Yes the denominator would be 1

[Lauren Sarigumba 1K]

The denominator would be 1 if the reactants were solids or liquids.

[Kandyce Lance 3E]

Hi! Yes the denominator would be 1

and what would it be if they were gasses?

[Diana Aguilar 3H]

Hi! Yes, the denominator of the reactant quotient would just be 1!

[Kiana Tashakori 1D]

Yes! You would just make the denominator 1.

[briana lay 3c]

Yes, the denominator would be 1. Same idea would apply if there were only solids in the products, K would be (1/[reactants])!

[Jillian Sarquiz- 2B]

Yes! You would not put any reactants in the denominator, making the denominator equal to 1.

[Madison Chan 3B]

Q is calculated in exactly the same way as K, so like K, we would omit the concentration of solids or liquids in the expression. This would make the denominator 1!
