The reaction quotient is the ratio of products to reactants not at equilibrium. If the system is at equilibrium then Q becomes Keq the equilibrium constant.

Q = products/reactants

If Q < Keq then there are more reactants then products so the system must shift toward the products to achieve equilibrium.

If Q > Keq then there are more products than reactants and the system must shift toward the reactants to reach equilibrium.

How can a chemical reaction shift toward the desired direction?

You can make it shift, by Le Chatliers principle. Or. By Reaction Quotient method and comparing it against the Equilibrium constant.

What is a reaction quotient?

A reaction quotient is a fraction with product concentrations in the numerator and reactant concentrations in the denominator - with each concentration raised to a power equal to the corresponding stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
