Quotient
Q - probably from quotient.
Q = 1,750.2
If the reaction quotient ( Q ) is greater than the equilibrium constant ( K_{eq} ), the system will shift to the left to reach equilibrium, favoring the formation of reactants. This shift occurs because the concentration of products is too high relative to the reactants, prompting the reaction to consume some of the products to restore balance. Ultimately, the system will adjust until ( Q ) equals ( K_{eq} ).
The letter Q in blackboard bold is used to represent the set of rational numbers - Q standing for quotient.
