Answer: The correct option is A.
Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.
For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.
For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:
The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.
Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that equilibrium constant is represented as follows for any general reaction.
K =
As equilibrium constant is directly proportional to the concentration of products so more is the value of equilibrium constant more will be the number of products formed.
As a result, more is the time taken by the reaction to reach towards equilibrium. Whereas smaller is the value of equilibrium constant more rapidly it will reach towards the equilibrium.
Thus, we can conclude that cases where K is a very small number will require the LEAST time to arrive at equilibrium.
