Can someone help me with my question? Its about equilibrium constants: http://puu.sh/60gWH.png Thanks in advance!

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

It is k^-1

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

Inverse k

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

Because the equation is reversed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I assume that they have entirely different values then? because K is not equal to K-1.

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

No! the equation is just reversed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but then the K values are different! 5 is not the same as 1/5 .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this means that for each equilibrium system there are 2 equilibrium constants with different values, right?
