7.5 Quantitative Anaylsis of Equilibrium Systems -- Comparing K to Q (PART 1)

In equilibrium systems, the equilibrium constant (K) and reaction quotient (Q) are both measures of the relative concentrations of reactants and products, but they serve different purposes.
Equilibrium Constant (K):
K is the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium, with each concentration raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient.
It represents the position of equilibrium for a particular reaction at a given temperature.
K is constant for a given reaction at a specific temperature, regardless of the initial concentrations.
