in a reversible reactants are converted to products and back again and over time it reaches equilbrium. K is a way to reach equilbrium do we have way more reactants or do we have way more reactants. K=[products]/[Reactants]

anonymous · Answer

so the value tells you the amount of products and reactants?

abmon98 · Answer

so When K is large we have way more products and when K is a small value they we have more reactants

somy · Answer

it tells if the system 'IS' in equilibrium or "NOT"

anonymous · Answer
