In which of the following cases will the LEAST time be required to arrive at equilibrium? K below refers to the equilibrium cons
tant.1. Cannot tell since the time to arrive at equilibrium does not depend on K.2. K is a very large number.3. K is about 1.4. K is a very small number.5. Cannot tell without knowing the value of K.
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.
I'd say false because copper is what they used to drink out of in the middle ages, and it caused them to get very sick, so I doubt they would use copper in your mouth.
