Dear sachin,

a A + b B → c C + d D     
   

 

In the general case in which the concentrations can have any arbitrary values (including zero), this expression is called the reaction quotient (the term equilibrium quotient is also commonly used.) and its value is denoted by Q (or Qc or Qp if we wish to emphasize that the terms represent molar concentrations or partial pressures.) If the terms correspond to equilibrium concentrations, then the above expression is called the equilibrium constant and its value is denoted by K (or Kc or Kp.)
