A reaction reaches equilibrium
Solids and liquids never appear in equilibrium expressions P4 (s) + 6Cl2 (g) ⇌ 4PCl3 (l) Keq = [Cl2]6 By convention, the constant concentrations of pure solids and liquids are understood to be incorporated into the equilibrium constant itself and left out of the equilibrium constant expression.
P4 (s) + 6Cl2 (g) ⇌ 4PCl3 (l)
The composition of equilibrium mixture is independent of amount of solid present, as long as some is always present.
Q < K Reaction shifts right to form more products. Reaction Quotient Increasing Q (reactants only) Q = ∞ Keq Q = 0 (products only) Q < K Reaction shifts right to form more products. Q = K System is at equilibrium. Q > K Reaction shits left to form more reactants.
