AIIMS 2018 Chemistry Reaction Quotient MCQ Question
Assertion : If (reaction quotient) (equilibrium constant) reaction moves in direction of reactants.
Reason : Reaction quotient is defined in the same way as equilibrium constant at any stage of the reaction.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant (), it indicates that the concentration of products is lower than at equilibrium, prompting the reaction to shift towards the products to reach equilibrium. This shift increases the concentrations of and while decreasing and . The other options are not applicable as they do not provide relevant information or alternatives regarding the relationship between and . Understanding this concept is crucial for predicting the direction of chemical reactions based on their equilibrium states.
