Question

Assertion : If reaction quotient, $Q_c$ for a particular reaction is greater than $K_c$, the reaction will proceed in the direction of reactants. \Reason : Reaction quotient is defined in the same way as the equilibrium constant $K_c$ except that the concentrations in $Q_c$ are not necessarily equilibrium values.

(b) : If $Q_c>K_c$, then $Q_c$ will tend to decrease so as to become equal to $K_c$. As a result, the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.
