Assertion : If reaction quotient, `Q_(c)` for a particular reaction is greater than `K_(c)` the reaction will proceed in the direction of reactants.
Reason : Reaction quotient is defined in the same way as the equilibrium constant `K_(c)` except that the concentrations in `Q_(c)` are not necessarily equilibrium values.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If `Q_(c)gtK_(c)` then `Q_(c)` will tend to decrease so as to become `K_(c)`. As a result, the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.
