uilibrium constant ( 1) tell you about the reaction? The reaction mixture contains only reactants. The reaction mixture contains large amounts of products (relative to the amount of reactants) at equilibrium. The reaction mixture contains similar amounts of reactants and products at equilibrium. The reaction mixture contains large a
Answer: The reaction mixture contains large amounts of reactants
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant (K) tells the degree to which a chemical reaction will progress.
So, a very small equilibrium constant (K≪ 1) tells of a reaction that has the concentration of the products as small, while the concentration of the reactants is large.
During the reaction of glucose and fructose with excess phenylhydrazine to form osazone, only the C-1andC-2 atoms of glucose and fructose participate in the reaction. The rest of the molecule remains intact. Hence, glucose and fructose produce the same osazone.
