Question

What does the value, or magnitude, of the equilibrium constant (K) tell you about an equilibrium system? Be specific with your answer.

Answer 1

it says about ratio of products to reactants.

Answer 3

@moradi312 I don't understand what you mean....can you explain it a little more?

Answer 4

it determine position of equilibrium or determine how much of reactants transformed to products.

Answer 5

but I thought equilibrium has to do with balance?

here i hope this helps you :) https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110530190543AAbwx4a

Answer 7

marissagatorgirl, thanks for mentioning me, and if it helps you or not is a good thing to give feed back :)

Answer 8

I've read that..I just don't understand it

Answer 9

ah neither do i

Answer 10

chemistry is going to be the death of me :(

Answer 11

i don't get what you said @marissagatorgirl .please explain more about your question.

Answer 12

what do you think @awfsefgergegegewg ?

Answer 13

YE. Equilibrium has something to do with balance or equality

Answer 14

there are different ways to treat constants in an equilibrium reaction
it can be temperature, it can be a specific rate... it can be anything

Answer 15

but you said THE ... so it is a specific information and that is something you must provide
I think your question right now comes from a series of questions that are related. This is something you will have to provide to us as the topic of equilibrium is pretty vast specially in reaction rates

Answer 16

the general idea of equilibrium is balance, yes. but the magnitude of the equilibrium constant tells where most of the mass is located.

Unlike a see-saw, the "balance" point of an equilibrium reaction doesn't have to occur when there is equal mass on both sides; it occurs when the mass-action movement between both sides is equal. The ratio of KEQ tells us where the majority of the mass is located

and you just can't jump into this topic without knowing the concept of chemical kinetics
