Question

how can we figure out if a reaction is going to go forward or backward? multiply q and k compare the values of q and k compare k to gibbs free energy determine if q is greater than or less than 1 question 5 what happens to a reaction if qc < kc? the reaction proceeds to the left, forming more reactants. the reaction proceeds to the right, forming more products. no change, the reaction is at equilibrium. the reaction stops as it has reached its final state

Explanation:

In chemical equilibrium, the reaction quotient Q and the equilibrium - constant K are compared to determine the direction of a reaction. If Q < K, the reaction proceeds forward to reach equilibrium. If Q > K, it proceeds backward. For the second question, when Qc < Kc, the reaction shifts to the right to form more products to reach equilibrium.

Answer:

For the first question: B. compare the values of Q and K
For the second question: B. The reaction proceeds to the right, forming more products.
