Question

Which equilibrium constant indicates a reaction in which the reactants are favored

Answer 1

Answer:

K<1.

Explanation:

Hello,

In chemical equilibrium the equilibrium constant accounts for a measure of the direction of the undergoing chemical reaction; in other words, the equilibrium constant help us to know whether a chemical reaction moves rightwards or leftwards. In such a way, if we say that the reactants are favored, the inverse reaction (leftwards movement) is looked for, in this manner, the equilibrium constant must have a value less than 1 based on the law of mass action for a given reaction A⇄B:

$K=\frac{[B]_ {eq}}{[A]_ {eq}}$

Therefore, if K<1 the concentration of A will be greater, favoring the formation of reactants.

Best regards.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reactants are favored when Q > K

Explanation:

Q means Reaction quotient

K means  Equilibrium constant

You can have the values for both, doing the same but you must know, you are in equilibrium to name K or Q

K/Q = 1 ----> Equilibrium ---> K = Q
