Define equilibrium constant. Given any one application of equilibrium constant. |
|
Answer» Solution :At a GIVEN temperature, the ratio of the product of active masses of reaction products RAISED to the respective stoichiometric COEFFICIENTS in the balanced chemical equation to that of the reactants is a constant, known as equilibrium constant. For any general equilibrium reaction `xA+yB hArr lC+mD` equilibrium constant `K_(C )=([C]^(l)[D]^(m))/([A]^(x)[B]^(y))` (in terms of active masses) Uses of equilibrium constant : 1. It predicts the direction in which the NET reaction will take place. 2. It predicts the extent of the reaction. 3. It is used to calculate the equilibrium CONCENTRATIONS of the reactants and products. |
