Comparing Q to K to determine shift

If a system has not reached chemical equilibrium, we can use the reaction quotient, Q, and the equilibrium constant, K to determine whether the reaction will shift towards products (right) or reactants (left).

These tutorials are part of a set of equilibrium materials developed with the Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University. To access the entire course, please see http://oli.web.cmu.edu/jcourse/webui/guest/look.do?section=buffers.
