Question

A reversible reaction has an equilibrium expression, Keq = 50. If the reaction quotient calcuated in by a student performing this reaction is Q = 75, which of the following statements is true?

a
Equilibrium will proceed in the reverse direction favoring products.

b
Equilibrium will proceed in the reverse direction favoring reactants.

c
Equilibrium will proceed in the forward direction favoring reactants.

d
Equilibrium will proceed in the forward direction favoring products.

I think its d but not sure

Answer 1

Keq = 50 = (products)/(reactants)
If Q = 75 then products are too large and reactants are too small; therefore, the reaction must proceed so as to make products smaller and reactants larger.
I don't agree with d BECAUSE products are too high as is. Products must get smaller. Reactants must get larger.
