Question

a very small equilibrium constant has everything but
a.a spontaneous reaction
b. stable reactents
c. produce little amount of products
d.little tendacy for reaction to occur

Answer 1

See if you can figure anything out given the definition of the equilibrium constant. \[\Large k_{eq}= \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}\] So how do you make the equilibrium constant a small number? Just think about what makes a fraction large or small. We can either have a small concentration of products or a large concentration of reactants at equilibrium to to make the equilibrium constant small.
