Question

The value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, at a certain temperature is 2.56 x 10-1. If the reaction quotient for a mixture of these species at the same temperature is found to be 9.90 x 10-4, would the mixture yield more products, more reactants or is it at or near equilibrium? Assume a reaction quotient within a factor of 10 of the equilibrium constant is at equilibrium. Enter P, R or EQ.

CH4(g)+H2O(g) = CO(g)+3H2(g)

Answer 1

This is much like the problem above that wanted to know were products are reactants favored. Here you compare K with Q
