Explain how the equilibrium constant K_(C) predict the extent of a reaction. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) The value of EQUILIBRIUM constant K tells us the extent of the reaction i.e., it indicates how FAR the reaction has proceeded TOWARDS product formation at a given temperature. (ii) A large value of `K_(C)` indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with HIGH product yield on the other hand, lower value of indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with low product yield. ) If `K_(C)gt10^(3)`, the reaction proceeds nearly to completion. (iv) IF `K_(C)lt10^(3)` the reaction rarely proceeds. (V) It the K is in the range 10 to 10, significant amount of both reactants and PRODUCTS are present al equilibrium. |
