Reactivity 2.3.5—The reaction quotient, Q, is calculated using the equilibrium expression with nonequilibrium concentrations of reactants and products. Calculate the reaction quotient Q from the concentrations of reactants and products at a particular time, and determine the direction in which the reaction will proceed to reach equilibrium.

A reversible reaction has a reaction quotient, Q, of 4.5 and equilibrium constant, K_c, of 6.2.

2A (g) $\rightleftharpoons$ A₂(g)

Which statement describes the reaction at this time?

B.  The rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction.

C.  The concentration of reactant is greater than the concentration of product.

D.  At equilibrium, the concentration of reactant is greater than the concentration of product.
