The reaction quotient ' ( Q_ C ^ ) is useful in predicting the direction of the reaction. Which of the following is incorrect?
Options
- AIf ( Q_ C >K_ C ), the reverse reaction isfavoured
- BIf ( Q_ C < K_ C ), the forward reaction is favoured
- CIf ( Q_ C =K_ C ), forward reaction is favoured
- DIf ( Q_ C >K_ C ), forward reaction is favoured
Correct answer
D. If ( Q_ C >K_ C ), forward reaction is favoured
Step-by-step solution
Q_ C >K_ C , reverse reaction is favored. The product concentration is more than the equilibrium concentration. The reactant concentration is less than the equilibrium concentration. If Q_ C < K_ C forward reaction is favored. If Q_ C =K_ C the reaction is at equilibrium that is dynamic. Both forward and reverse reactions continue to occur. Hence, the correct options are C and D
