Answer:
to the right (products side)
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant K describes the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants at equilibrium. For a general reaction:
a A + b B → c C + d D
The equilibrium constant expression is:
A low value of K indicates that the concentration of products (C and D) is low in relation with the concentration of reactants (A and B).
Conversely, a high value of K indicated that the concentration of products is high compared with the concentration of reactants.
Since K = 6.4 × 10⁹ is a high value, the concentration of products is higher than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. Thus, the position of the equilibrium is favored to the right.
