Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?
1)For a chemical system,if the reaction quotient (Q)is greater than K,reactant must be converted to products to reach equilibrium.
2)For a chemical system at equilibrium,the forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal.
3)For a chemical system at equilibrium,the concentrations of products divided by the concentrations of reactants equals one.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect because if Q>K, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction until Q=K and equilibrium is established.
Statement 2 is correct because at equilibrium, the forward and reverse rates of the reaction are equal.
Statement 3 is incorrect because the equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants, not the other way around.
