  4. Statement 1: The reaction quotient, Q has the same form as the equilibrium constant Keq, and is evaluated using any given concentrations of the species involved in the reaction, and not necessarily equilibrium concentrations Statement 2: If the numerical value of Q is not the same as the value of equilibrium constant, a reaction will occur.

Q. Statement 1: The reaction quotient, $Q$ has the same form as the equilibrium constant $K_{eq}$, and is evaluated using any given concentrations of the species involved in the reaction, and not necessarily equilibrium concentrations
Statement 2: If the numerical value of $Q$ is not the same as the value of equilibrium constant, a reaction will occur.

Equilibrium

Solution:

Both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.
