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.

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.
<span>During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls, be</span>cause,when cooling a substace, the particles (molecules) slow down.
The kinetic energy is related to the speed, such that the lower speed the lower kinetic energy.
Particles can translate and vibrate, in the case of gases and liquids, and only vibrate (in the case of solids).
As a substance is cooled the particles get closer and the motion (translation and vibration), slows down. You can see by the equation of the kinetic energy (KE):
KE = [1/2]mass×(speed)² that as the speed is lower the KE will also be lower.
Additionally, when the cooling does not drive a change of phase (gas to liquid, liquid to solid, or solid to gas), it drives a decrease on temperature. In this case you should know that the temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy: the lower the temperature, the lower the kinetic energy.
