Reaction Quotient Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Reaction Quotient?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Q=(CCc)(CDd)(CAa)(CBb)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Q=(18mol/L9)(22mol/L7)(1.62mol/L17)(14mol/L3)
Next Step Convert Units
Q=(18000mol/m³9)(22000mol/m³7)(1620mol/m³17)(14000mol/m³3)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Q=(180009)(220007)(162017)(140003)
Next Step Evaluate
Q=49.462032380513
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Q=49.462

How to Evaluate Reaction Quotient?

Reaction Quotient evaluator uses Reaction Quotient = ((Concentration of C^No. of Moles of C)*(Concentration of D^No. of Moles of D))/((Concentration of A^Number of Moles of A)*(Concentration of B^No. of Moles of B)) to evaluate the Reaction Quotient, The Reaction quotient formula is defined as the ratio of molar concentrations of products to the concentration of reactants. Reaction Quotient is denoted by Q symbol.

FAQs on Reaction Quotient

What is the formula to find Reaction Quotient?
The formula of Reaction Quotient is expressed as Reaction Quotient = ((Concentration of C^No. of Moles of C)*(Concentration of D^No. of Moles of D))/((Concentration of A^Number of Moles of A)*(Concentration of B^No. of Moles of B)). Here is an example- 8.1E-14 = ((18000^9)*(22000^7))/((1620^17)*(14000^3)).
How to calculate Reaction Quotient?
With Concentration of C (CC), No. of Moles of C (c), Concentration of D (CD), No. of Moles of D (d), Concentration of A (CA), Number of Moles of A (a), Concentration of B (CB) & No. of Moles of B (b) we can find Reaction Quotient using the formula - Reaction Quotient = ((Concentration of C^No. of Moles of C)*(Concentration of D^No. of Moles of D))/((Concentration of A^Number of Moles of A)*(Concentration of B^No. of Moles of B)).
