Which of the following statements about the reaction quotient is true?

1. Q and Keq are equal only when Delta G = 0.
2. The reaction quotient (Q) can be calculated using the same formula used for Keq, however the two values are not always equal.
3. The system reaches equilibrium when Q, Keq and Delta G all equal zero.
4. Delta G at equilibrium can only have one value regardless of which reaction is occurring, however, Keq can have a different value for each reaction.
5. When Q is less than Keq, the system is approaching equilibrium from the product side of the reaction.
6. When Delta G° = Delta G, then Q must equal Keq.
7. If Q is large the system must favor the products when it reaches equilibrium.
8. When Q is decreasing as the reaction progresses, you are approaching equilibrium from the reactant side of the equation.
