When the equilibrium constant for a reaction is very small which of the following is true?
the equilibrium lies far to the left (much more reactant than product)
the equilibrium lies slightly to the right(somewhat more product than reactant)
the equilibrium lies far to the right(much more product than reactant)
Answer:
far to the left because conc of product is very small than the reactant
It lies far to the left.
the equilibrium lies far to the left - the equilibrium constant is the quotient of concentration of product divided by concentration of reactant (both raised to powers dependent on the exact stoicheometry of the reaction), so a very low value means v low product conc & v high reactant conc
