How does reaction quotient predicts the direction of a reaction?

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.


What type of reactants and products typify synthesis reactions?

The reactants tend to be simple substances, while the product is more complex.

What does the statement a high equilibrium product constant mean?

High Kp ( equilibrium constant of product) means that the reaction favors the product formation. More products are formed.


When there are two or more reactants or prducts arethey separated by an arrow?

reactants are separated by a plus, +, sign, so are products. The reactants and products are separated by an arrow. Reactant 1 + Reactant 2 +etc. --> product 1 + product 2 + etc.


Why does forward reaction is decrease in rate as time increase?

This is because the reactants are being used up to make products. Unless you add more reactants to the solution, the rate at which products will be made will start to diminish until there is an equilibrium. At this point products will be converted to reactants and reactants will be converted to products and the equilibrium will not shift however the forward rxn and the reverse rxn will be occurring at the same rate

When a reaction is at equilibrium is the equilibrium constant is equal to 1?

need not be..equilibrium constant is just a ratio of relative concentrations of products (multiplication of concentration in case of more than one products) to the concentration of reactants (multiplication of concentrations of reactants in case of more than one reactants)..the equilibrium concentration can be a very small number or can be a very number as well depending upon the relative concentrations of reactants and products..Unity equilibrium constants is just a special case which shows that the concentrations of products and reactants are equal..
