Reaction quotient is defined as
Q = p(C2H6)/p(C2H2)*p(H2)^2
where p(C2H6) means the partial pressure of C2H6, p(C2H2) means partial pressure of C2H2) etc.
Now just plug in the values listed and calculate Q.
Based on pressure values for each component of the reaction, what is the value of the reaction quotient, Q?
Equation: C2H2 + 2 H2 -> C2H6
C2H2 has a pressure of 5.05 atm
H2 has a pressure of 4.35 atm
C2H6 has a pressure of 0.0225 atm
