Question

Select all of the correct statements about reaction quotients and equilibrium constants from the choices below.

A reaction quotient equals the equilibrium constant at equilibrium.

If Q > K the reaction must progress backward to attain equilibrium.

As a reaction progresses forward toward equilibrium K is the highest value Q attains.

If Q < K the reaction must progress backwards to attain equilibrium.

A reaction quotient is the same as an equilibrium constant.

The further away from K the Q value of a reaction mixture is the more unstable the mixture.
