The Reaction Quotient Is Unnecessary To Solve Equilibrium Problems
Abstract
While my paper states that the reaction quotient (Q) is not needed to solve equilibrium problems, it does not imply that Q is not valuable. In fact, when I teach this topic to my AP chemistry class, I initially use Q to solve the problem, then mention the alternative method described in the paper.

Paul S. Matsumoto , Jonathan Ring and Jia Li (Lily) ZhuJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (10), 1655This article describes the use of limits in topics that are usually covered in a high school advanced placement chemistry course or a first-year college chemistry course. Such an approach supplements the interpretation of the graph of an equation since it ...
