Reaction quotient:
The reaction quotient, Qc, is defined in the same way as the equilibrium constant, Kc, except that the concentrations in Qc are not necessarily equilibrium values.
• If Qc = Kcno net reaction occurs.
• If Qc < Kc net reaction goes from left to right (reactants to products).
• If Qc > Kcnet reaction goes from right to left (products to reactants).

Le Châtelier’s Principle: If a stress is applied to a reaction mixture at equilibrium, net reaction occurs in the direction that relieves the stress.• The concentration of reactants or
products can be changed.
• The pressure and volume can be changed.
• The temperature can be changed.

• the concentration stress of an added reactant or product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that consumes the added substance.
• the concentration stress of a removed reactant or product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that replenishes the removed substance.
In general, when an equilibrium is disturbed by the addition or removal of any reactant or product, Le Châtelier’s principle predicts that
Altering an Equilibrium Mixture: ConcentrationAdd reactant – denominator in Qc expression
becomes largerQc < Kc
To return to equilibrium, Qc must be increasesMore product must be made => reaction shifts
to the right
Altering an Equilibrium Mixture: ConcentrationRemove reactant – denominator in Qc
expression becomes smallerQc > Kc
To return to equilibrium, Qc must be decreasesLess product must be made => reaction shifts
to the left
2NH3(g)N2(g) + 3H2(g) at 700 K, Kc = 0.291
Since Qc < Kc, more reactants will be consumed and the net reaction will be from left to right.

• an increase in pressure by reducing the volume will bring about net reaction in the direction that decreases the number of moles of gas.
• a decrease in pressure by expanding the volume will bring about net reaction in the direction that increases the number of moles of gas.
In general, when an equilibrium is disturbed by a change in volume which results in a corresponding change in pressure, Le Châtelier’s principle predicts that
Altering an Equilibrium Mixture: Pressure and VolumeIf reactant side has more moles of gas
Denominator will be larger Qc < Kc
To return to equilibrium, Qc must be increased Reaction shifts toward fewer moles of gas (to the
product)
If product side has more moles of gasNumerator will be larger
Qc > Kc
To return to equilibrium, Qc must be decreases Reaction shifts toward fewer moles of gas (to the
reactant)
Altering an Equilibrium Mixture: Pressure and VolumeReaction involves no change in the number moles
of gasNo effect on composition of equilibrium mixture
For heterogenous equilibrium mixtureEffect of pressure changes on solids and liquids can
be ignored Volume is nearly independent of pressure
Change in pressure due to addition of inert gas No change in the molar concentration of reactants
or productsNo effect on composition
2NH3(g)N2(g) + 3H2(g) at 700 K, Kc = 0.291
Since Qc < Kc, more reactants will be consumed and the net reaction will be from left to right.
