QK

Home > Chemistry > Chemical Equilibrium > Reaction Quotient (Qc/Qp) > QK

This is the reaction quotient for the equilibrium constant, K. It is used to calculate the reaction quotient at any point during the reaction and to compare it to the equilibrium constant. If QK is greater than K, the reaction will shift in the reverse direction to reach equilibrium. If QK is less than K, the reaction will shift in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
