These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute. Lecture 11 Outline of Last Lecture I. Equilibrium II. Equilibrium Constant a. How K describes the reaction III. Q Outline of Current Lecture - How to represent K and Q Current Lecture - Forms of K and Q o A reaction quotient (or equilibrium constant) for a forward reaction is the reciprocal of the reaction quotient (or equilibrium constant) for the reverse reaction. See Figure 17.6 on page 683 The form of Q and K depend on the direction in which the balanced equation is written. o Multiplying by a common factor Multiplying all the coefficients of the equation by some factor also changes the form of Q. If all the coefficients of the balanced equation are multiplied by some factor, the factor becomes the exponent for relating the reaction quotients and the equilibrium constants. CHEM 113
