Question

Which of the following relative values of kf and kr results in an equilibrium mixture that contains large amounts of reactants and small amounts of products? (a) kf 7 kr (b) kf = kr (c) kf 6 kr

Hello everyone today. We have the following problem compare the rate constants for the forward and reverse reaction. If the mixture contains a low concentration of reactant and a large concentration of products, so if a mixture contains, so we have this mixture right? If we have a low concentration of our reactant and a high concentration of our products, this is going to mean that we have a large equilibrium constant or K. C. And so recall that the K. C. Is simply the ratio of the concentration of our products over the concentration of our reactant. Right? So in this problem it says that the product concentration is greater than the reacting concentration. And so a large K. C. Is going to imply that the rate constant for the forward reaction is greater than the, So we're gonna see that the that the rate constant for the forward reaction or case of F is going to be greater than that of the rate constant for our reverse reaction or in other words are anti choice or the correct one would be answer choice. A And so that now we have answered the question overall, I hope that this helped and until next time
