If two reactions sum to an overall reaction, and the equilibrium constants for the two reactions are $K_{1}$ and $K_{2},$ what is the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction?
Suppose for the reaction $A \rightarrow B$ the value of $Q$ is less than $K_{c^{*}}$ Which way does the reaction have to proceed to reach equilibrium-in the forward or reverse direction?
