What qualitative information can you obtain from the magnitude of equilibrium constant?

Answer»

(i) Large value of equilibrium constant (>103) shows that forward reaction is favoured, i.e., concentration of products is much larger than that of the reactants at equilibrium. 

(ii) Intermediate value of K(10-3 to 103) shows that the concentration of the reactants and products are comparable, 

(iii) Low value of K(<10-3)shows that backward reaction- is favoured, i.e, concentration of reactants is much larger than that of the products.
