What will happen to the concentrations of reactants of a reactionwhen Q c is less than K c ?

Options

  1. AThey will remain constant.
  2. BThey will increase.
  3. CThey will decrease.
  4. DThey will become zero.

Correct answer

C. They will decrease.

Step-by-step solution

When Q c is not equal to K c , the concentrations of reactants will decrease until Q c equals K c .
