Question 2 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

If the equilibrium concentrations of products are much greater than those of reactants in this system, what would be the magnitude of the equilibrium constant, K,?

Answer
A
K < 1
B
K = 1
C
K > 1

Explanation

The equilibrium constant compares product concentrations with reactant concentrations, each raised to its coefficient in the balanced equation. If the product concentrations are much greater than the reactant concentrations at equilibrium, the ratio is greater than 1. Therefore, K > 1, choice C.
