Question #114385

A constant which has no unit

Expert's answer

Equilibrium constant K.


Suppose, there is a chemical reaction A + B = C + D


K = ([C][D]) / ([A][B]), where [A], [B], [C] and [D] - equilibrium concentrations of the substances A, B, C and D, measured in mol/L. As everithing is measured in mol/L, then K = (mol2/L2) / (mol2/l2), and so it has no unit, only numerical value.
