Situations in which Q=K

[Ritu Gaikwad 2E]

What reactions describe when Q=K or is a reaction even present when there is the same amount of product and reactant?

[KarineKim2L]

When Q=K, the reaction is at equilibrium, so the forward reaction is occurring at the same rate as the backward reaction.

[Delaney Smith 1C]

The reaction is still present and occurring even when the products are equal to the reactants. This just means that P/R ratio is the same so there won't be more products or reactants as the reaction is at equilibrium.

[Emil Velasco 1H]

When Q=K, then the reaction is at equilibrium

[705367472]

Pretty much if Q is equal to K that is how you know the equation is at equilibrium.

If Q=K, as everybody has been saying, you know the equation has reached its equilibrium. However, K really is the right way to label the ratio of reactants to products at equilibrium.

[William Chan 1D]

If Q = K, then the reaction is at equilibrium.

[Emily Burghart 1k]

When Q=K the reaction is at equilibrium meaning that the forward and reverse reactions are happening at the same rate. This does not mean that they are not occurring, but rather [R] and [P] are being formed at the same time, and neither is being formed more than the other.
