Reaction Quotient
Chemical Equilibrium
Various
The same ratio as the equilibrium constant but evaluated with the concentrations actually present at any moment.
Q = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b
Relationship between K and Rate Constants
Chemical Equilibrium
Various
The equilibrium constant of an elementary reaction equals the ratio of its forward and reverse rate constants.
K = k_forward / k_reverse
Relationship between Kp and Kc
Chemical Equilibrium
Dimensionless
The conversion linking the pressure and concentration forms of the equilibrium constant for a gaseous reaction.
Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn
