Equilibrium - Result Question 3
####3. If the value of an equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is $1.6 \times 10^{12}$, then at equilibrium the system will contain :- [2015]
(a) mostly reactants
(b) mostly products
(c) similar amounts of reactants and products
(d) all reactants
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) Equilibrium constant for reaction:
$K=1.6 \times 10^{12}=\frac{[\text{ Product }]}{[\text{ Reactant }]}$
The value of $K$ is very high so the system will contain mostly products at equilibrium.
