Answer : Option B) When the equilibrium constant is large.
Explanation : The expression for an equilibrium constant is expressed as the product of the concentrations of the reaction products in the numerator and the product of the concentrations of the reactants in the denominator.
Each of the concentrations are raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in the reaction.
When the equilibrium is large the products are favored over the reactants, as concentration of products are directly proportional to the equilibrium constant.
The expression of equilibrium constant is given by
K = [tex] \frac{[products]^{a}}{[reactants]^{b}}[/tex]
where K - equilibrium constant;
a - co-efficient of product; and
b - co-efficient of reactant.
Answer:
Products are favored when Keq is high
Explanation:
A reaction is said to be in equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction. Consider a general reaction which depicts the conversion of reactants into products:
Reactants ↔ Products
The equilibrium constant Keq is given as:
[tex]Keq = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]}[/tex]
Keq is expressed as a ratio of the concentration of products to the reactants. Thus if the Keq value is high for a given, the products will be favored
