Question

I need help! In an equilibrium reaction with a Keq of 1 × 108 A. products are favored. B. the reaction is nonspontaneous. C. the reaction is endothermic. D. reactants are favored.

Answer 1

When K is > than 1 products are favored. When q is < less than 1 reactants are favored. 1 x 108 = 108 which is > 1 so products are favored.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. It is represented as $K_{eq}$

For the general reaction:

$A+B\rightarrow C+D$

Expression for equilibrium constant is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]}$

Conditions for $K_{eq}$ are:

$K_{eq}>1$, then products are favored

$K_{eq}=1$, then forward reaction is equal to backward reaction

$K_{eq}$, then reactants are favored

As, $K_{eq}=1\times 10^8$ and is very much greater than 1, so products will be favored.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
