Reaction Quotient - Predicting Reaction

The video tutorial explains the concept of the reaction quotient (QC) and its role in determining the direction of chemical reactions. QC is similar to the equilibrium constant (KC) but is used when reactions are not at equilibrium. The tutorial covers how to calculate QC using the concentrations of products and reactants, and how to use QC to predict whether a reaction will proceed forward or in reverse. It also discusses the comparison between QC and KC, explaining that if QC is less than KC, the reaction favors the forward direction, while if QC is greater, the reverse reaction is favored. The video concludes with a visual representation of these concepts.
