Definition

Products

____________

Reactants

 

K is equal to the ratio of products and reactants when equilibrium is achieved

 

When Q>K then the ratio of products to reactants is greater than when at equilibrium so in order to reach equilibrium  the rxns must go backwards to decrease the products and increase reactants 

 

 

When Q<K then the ratio of products to reactants is less than when at equilibrium so in order to reach equilibrium the rxns must go forward to increase the products and decrease reactants 

 

When Q=K then Equilibrium is reached and the ratio of products and reactants remains constant
