Answer to Question #156866 in General Chemistry for Koda Erikson

Question

is the reactant or product favoured at equilibrium for the equations Ki =3.4x10^3 , K2 =5.2x10^-5 , K3 =1

Answer 1

If the value of K is greater than 1, the products in the reaction are favored; if the value of K is less than 1, the reactants in the reaction are favored; if K is equal to 1, neither reactants nor products are favored

Therefore, when Ki =3.4x10^3, the products in the reaction are favored

      , when K2 =5.2x10^-5, the reactants in the reaction are favored

       While, when K3 =1, neither reactants nor products are favored.
