Q and K

Postby Irene Kang 3F » Sat Jan 29, 2022 2:36 am

There are no information about the concentrations or anything so how will we know if the reaction has tendency to form products or reactants? Only the value for Q and the temperature and the chemical equation was given...

If you can find K in any of the tables in the book, you can compare Q and K to figure out which direction the reaction will proceed in!

Usually they give you it or you have to find the associated value in a table of values. The exams should give us the k-values, we aren't expected to memorize them.
