16. Chemical Equilibrium
Reaction Quotient
20PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider the following electrochemical reaction taking place at 45 °C:
Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) ⇌ Cu2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s)
The concentrations within the reaction cell are: [Ag+] = 1.25 M and [Cu2+] = 0.310 M
a. Write an expression for the reaction quotient (Q) for this reaction.
b. What is the value of the reaction quotient (Q)?
