The Equilibrium Constant

Question 1

What is the equilibrium law?

Answer 1

The concentration of the products / the concentration of the reactants

Question 2

What does the value of the equilibrium constant tell us?

Answer 2

• A Kc value of 1 means that the position of equilibrium is halfway between the reactants and products.
• A Kc value > 1 means that the position of equilibrium is towards the products.
• A Kc value < 1 means that the position of equilibrium is towards the reactants.
