Question:
If the value of an equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is 1.6×10¹², then at equilibrium the system will contain: mostly products, mostly reactants, similar amounts of reactants and products, or all reactants?
mostly reactants
similar amounts of reactants and products
mostly products
all reactants
Solution:
The value of the equilibrium constant K is 1.6×10¹², which is very high.
K = [Products]/[Reactants]
This indicates the ratio of product concentration to reactant concentration is very high. Hence, the reaction mixture mostly contains products.
