Question:

Answer 1

In the reaction shown below, the equilibrium constant K has a value less than 1.

wA + xB Two arrows stacked on top of each other. The top arrow points to the right. The bottom arrow points to the left. yC + zD

k = K is set equal to the following fraction: The concentration of C raised to the exponent y times the concentration of D raised t

When this system reaches equilibrium, which of the following will be true? (1 point)

There will be more reactants than products.
There will be more products than reactants.
The forward reaction will proceed faster than the reverse reaction.
The reverse reaction will proceed faster than the forward reaction.

Answer 2

I was going with the third option

Answer 3

The third option sounds pretty good to me but I'm also considering the first option as when K is less than one the mixture contains mostly reactants which would push for the forward reaction

Answer 4

oh thats a good point.. hm

Answer 5

Both are technically right but I couldn't tell you which one would be considered more right unfortunately

Answer 6

ohh that's alright, thank you for your help!!! :))

Answer 7

No problem!
