Okay, I basically just need to know how I'm supposed to do this type of problem.
Instructions: Write the equilibrium constant expression for the following reactions, then calculate the value Q and predict how the reaction will proceed with the given information.
Sample Problem:
At 740 degrees celcius, Keq = 0.0060 for the decomposition reaction: CaCO3 (s) (double arrow) CaO (s) + CO2 (g), where [CO2] = 0.0004 M.
I know how to do the constant expression, but how do I calculate for Q? (I don't even know what Q is...) If you could just show me how I should start this, I would be grateful.
