Write the relation between DG and Q and define the meaning of each ter

1.	Write the relation between DG and Q and define the meaning of each term and answer the following : (i) Why a reaction proceeds forward when Q < K and no net reaction occurs when Q = K. (ii) Explain the effect of increase in pressure in terms of reaction quotient Q, for the reaction : .
Answer» K, ΔG will be negative. REACTION proceeds in the forward direction. If Q = K, ΔG = 0, no net reaction. [Hint: NEXT relate Q with concentration of CO, H2, CH4 and H2O in view of reduced volume (increased PRESSURE). Show that Q < K and hence the reaction proceeds in forward direction.]
