Question

What is the correct mathematical expression for the reaction quotient, $Q_c$, for the following reaction: 2 Cl$_2$(g) + 2 H$_2$O(g) $\rightleftharpoons$ 4 HCl(g) + O$_2$(g) (a) [HCl][O$_2$]/[Cl$_2$][H$_2$O] (b) [HCl]$^4$[O$_2$]/[Cl$_2$]$^2$[H$_2$O]$^2$ (c) [Cl$_2$]$^2$[H$_2$O]$^2$/[HCl]$^4$[O$_2$] (d) [Cl$_2$][H$_2$O]/[HCl][O$_2$]

          What is the correct mathematical expression for the reaction quotient, $Q_c$, for the following
reaction:
2 Cl$_2$(g) + 2 H$_2$O(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 4 HCl(g) + O$_2$(g)
(a) [HCl][O$_2$]/[Cl$_2$][H$_2$O]
(b) [HCl]$^4$[O$_2$]/[Cl$_2$]$^2$[H$_2$O]$^2$
(c) [Cl$_2$]$^2$[H$_2$O]$^2$/[HCl]$^4$[O$_2$]
(d) [Cl$_2$][H$_2$O]/[HCl][O$_2$]

What is the correct mathematical expression for the reaction quotient, Qc, for the following
reaction:
2 Cl2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ⇌ 4 HCl(g) + O2(g)
(a) [HCl][O2]/[Cl2][H2O]
(b) [HCl]^4[O2]/[Cl2]^2[H2O]^2
(c) [Cl2]^2[H2O]^2/[HCl]^4[O2]
(d) [Cl2][H2O]/[HCl][O2]
