This study guide covers the reaction quotient (Q), its calculation, and its relationship to the equilibrium constant (K). It explains how to use Q to predict the direction of equilibrium shifts. The guide also discusses equilibrium vs. non-equilibrium concentrations and provides practice problems and exam tips focusing on comparing Q and K.
