The reaction quotient (Q) for the reaction \(N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)⇋2NH_3(g)\) is given by \(Q =\frac { [NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}\). The reaction will proceed from right to left if: (where KC is the equilibrium constant)
- Q=KC
- QQ>KCQ=0Hide Solution
Verified By CollegeduniaThe Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
\(N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)⇋2NH_3(g)\)
equilibrium constant (Kc) is:
\(K_c =\frac { [NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}\)
The reaction will proceed in backward direction, when Q>Kc.
The product concentration is more than equilibrium value.
The reactant concentration is less than the equilibrium value.So, the correct option is (C): Q>Kc

An ideal massless spring \( S \) can be compressed \( 1 \) m by a force of \( 100 \) N in equilibrium. The same spring is placed at the bottom of a frictionless inclined plane inclined at \( 30^\circ \) to the horizontal. A \( 10 \) kg block \( M \) is released from rest at the top of the incline and is brought to rest momentarily after compressing the spring by \( 2 \) m. If \( g = 10 \) m/s\( ^2 \), what is the speed of the mass just before it touches the spring?

Concepts Used:
Equilibrium Constant
The equilibrium constant may be defined as the ratio between the product of the molar concentrations of the products to that of the product of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each concentration term raised to a power equal to the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical reaction.
The equilibrium constant at a given temperature is the ratio of the rate constant of forwarding and backward reactions.
Equilibrium Constant Formula:
Kequ = kf/kb = [C]c [D]d/[A]a [B]b = Kc
where Kc, indicates the equilibrium constant measured in moles per litre.
For reactions involving gases: The equilibrium constant formula, in terms of partial pressure will be:
Kequ = kf/kb = [[pC]c [pD]d]/[[pA]a [pB]b] = Kp
Where Kp indicates the equilibrium constant formula in terms of partial pressures.
- Larger Kc/Kp values indicate higher product formation and higher percentage conversion.
- Lower Kc/Kp values indicate lower product formation and lower percentage conversion.
Medium Kc/Kp values indicate optimum product formation.
Units of Equilibrium Constant:
The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentrations raised to the stoichiometric coefficients. Therefore, the unit of the equilibrium constant = [Mole L-1]△n.
where, ∆n = sum of stoichiometric coefficients of products – a sum of stoichiometric coefficients of reactants.
