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.
