A reaction mixture starts with only reactants, and Q = 0. Which way does it go?
A.Forward, toward products
B.Reverse, toward reactants
C.Nowhere — it is already at equilibrium
D.The direction depends on temperature only
Explanation
Core Concept
Q = 0 is below any positive K, so the reaction proceeds forward until Q reaches K. This is the standard start of an equilibrium problem.
Correct Answer
AForward, toward products
