Question

When this reaction comes to equilibrium, will the concentra- tions of the reactants or products be greater? Does the answer to this question depend on the initial concentrations of the reac- tants and products?
A(g)+B(g) ⇌ 2C(g) Kc = 1.4x10^-5

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. Today. We are being asked to identify if the reactant or the products are favored based on each equilibrium constant. So for one we have K is equal to 1.983. Well, if k the value of K is greater than one products are favored, alright. Products are favored. If K is greater than one and if K is less than one then the reactant our favorite for one K value is greater than one. Therefore we can say that for one, the products our favorite, right? And for two We have K is equal to 5.38 times 10 to the -2. Which is the same thing as five. It's the same thing as 0.0538, which is less than one. So we're going to say that the reactant are favored and this is the answer to this question. I hope this helped. And until next time.
