A reaction reaches equilibrium. Solids and liquids never appear in equilibrium expressions. P 4 ( s) + 6Cl 2 (g ) ⇌ 4PCl 3 (l ). K eq = . [Cl 2 ] 6.

Solids and liquids never appear in equilibrium expressions P4 (s) + 6Cl2 (g) ⇌ 4PCl3 (l) Keq = [Cl2]6 By convention, the constant concentrations of pure solids and liquids are understood to be incorporated into the equilibrium constant itself and left out of the equilibrium constant expression.
The composition of equilibrium mixture is independent of amount of solid present, as long as some is always present.
Reaction Quotient Q = 0 Keq Q = ∞ Q < K Reaction shifts right to form more products. Q = K System is at equilibrium. Q > K Reaction shits left to form more reactants. (reactants only) (products only) Increasing Q
