The reaction quotient, , is calculated using the concentrations of the reactants and products at any point in time, not necessarily at equilibrium.
The equilibrium constant, , is calculated using the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium.
For to equal , the system must be at equilibrium, meaning the concentrations of reactants and products have reached a state where they no longer change with time.
Therefore, the condition that must be satisfied for = is that the reaction mixture is at equilibrium.

주요 개념
질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.
Reaction Quotient (Q<sub>c</sub>)
The reaction quotient, Q<sub>c</sub>, is a measure of the relative concentrations of products and reactants at any point in a chemical reaction. It is calculated using the same expression as the equilibrium constant but with the current concentrations. Q<sub>c</sub> helps determine the direction in which a reaction will proceed to reach equilibrium.

Reaction Quotient Q
Equilibrium Constant (K<sub>c</sub>)
The equilibrium constant, K<sub>c</sub>, is a value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a reversible reaction at a given temperature. It is a fixed value for a specific reaction under specific conditions, indicating the extent to which reactants are converted into products at equilibrium.

Equilibrium Constant K
Dynamic Equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium occurs in a reversible reaction when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products. At this point, Q<sub>c</sub> equals K<sub>c</sub>, indicating that the system is balanced and no net change occurs. This condition is essential for understanding when a reaction has reached equilibrium.

At 100°C, the equilibrium constant for the reaction COCl2(𝑔) ⇌ CO(𝑔) + Cl2(𝑔) has the value 𝐾𝑐 = 2.19×10−10. Are the following mixtures of COCl2, CO, and Cl2 at 100°C at equilibrium? If not, indicate the direction that the reaction must proceed to achieve equilibrium.
(a) [COCl2] = 2.00×10−3 M, [CO] = 3.3×10−6 M, [Cl2] = 6.62×10−6 M
(b) [COCl2] = 4.50×10−2 M, [CO] = 1.1×10−7 M, [Cl2] = 2.25×10−6 M
(c) [COCl2] = 0.0100 M, [CO] = [Cl2] = 1.48×10−6 M
