Hello
You can calculate the
reaction quotient(Q) at the given time and compare it with the
equilibrium constant(Kc) to predict which direction the reaction will shift to reach equilibrium.
The expression for Q is the same as that of Kc but we can calculate Q even for an reversible reaction that is not in equilibrium
If Q > Kc : the equilibrium shifts to the left yielding more products until Q=Kc
If Q < Kc : the equilibrium shifts to the right yielding more products until Q=Kc
If Q=Kc : the reaction is in equilibrium
Hope this helps
and have a look
