(e) only and
Explain your answer briefly.
Solution
VerifiedIn this task, we need to explain what we expect to find at equilibrium when the =1.
For the reaction:
the K is:
The equilibrium constant is equal to the product of the concentration of the products raised to the potency of its stoichiometric factor divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to the potency of its stoichiometric factor.
If a is greater than 1, the amount of products at equilibrium is greater than the amount of reactants, so the forward reaction is favored. If a is less than 1, the amount of reactants at equilibrium is greater than the amount of products, so the reverse reaction is favored.
If a is equal to 1, it means that the concentrations of the reactants and products are about the same.
