Q is the reaction quotient Gives the condition of the reaction at any point during the reaction. [X] o indicates the initial concentration of a species
3
Q is the reaction quotient is expressed the same as K [Products] coeff [Reactants] coeff At equilibrium K = Q

Reactants Products Reactants Products Reactants Products Think of the reaction like sand in an hourglass. It can be tipped to run one way or the other.
5
Reactants Products At EQUILIBRIUM the forward reaction will equal the reverse reaction
6
Reactants Products At EQUILIBRIUM K = Q
7
Reactants Products So if K is larger than Q which way do we need to “tip” the reaction to make them equal?
8
Reactants Products So if K is larger than Q which way do we need to “tip” the reaction to make them equal? Tip towards Q, PRODUCTS. The reaction favors products.
9
Reactants Products Reactants Products What if K is smaller than Q which way do we need to “tip” the reaction to make them equal? Tip towards K. The reaction favors reactants.
10
Reactants Products When Equilibrium is reached K = Q Forward and reverse are equal.
