IB skill practice

Use equilibrium constants and reaction quotients

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Compare reaction quotient with Kc

In a industrial reactor discussion, \(Q=0.8\) and \(K_c=1.25\). Predict the direction the system must shift to reach equilibrium. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
