jUst TELL ME IN SIMPLE WORDS WHAT DOES EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT MEAN???
It is the constant of the equilibrium :D
The extent to which the reactants are converted into the products before equilibriumis reached is measured by the equilibrium constant, Kc for the reaction. -At equilibrium the concentrations of reactants and products are not equal but there is a relationship between them -The relationship between the chemical equation and the concentrations of reactants and products is called the Law of Mass Action. -Consider the general equation aA+ bB⇄cC+ dD, the Law of Mass Action gives the relationship below \[Kc = \frac{ (C)^{c} \times (D)^{d} }{ (A)^{a} \times (B)^{b} }\] SIMPLE?? haha.. :D
see we said the same thing *poker face*
The equililbrium constant, K, is an expression that gives us a ratio of the products and reactants of a reaction at equilibrium with respect to a specific unit. An equilibrium constant expression is based on a reaction that is at equilibrium. There are two different types of equilibrium reactions; one is heterogeneous and one is homogeneous. This page will illustrate the difference between the two, explain how to write equilibrium constants for both, and introduce you to calculations involved with both the concentration and the pressure equilibrium constant.
