Hi teatea! Since the Keq of this reaction is 4x10-7 = 0.0000004, which is less than 1, then the reactants are favored, so the right answer is 'a'. "The value for K is large when products dominate the mixture. The value for K is small when the reactants dominate the mixture. The expression for an equilibrium reaction is determined by the coefficients in the balanced equation. "Large K > 1 products are 'favored' K = 1 neither reactants nor products are favored Small K < 1 reactants are 'favored' " Equilibrium equations and equilibrium constants http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/wv/7/0007-007-Equi_exp_k.html You might want to check the above link in order to get a better understanding of why this is true. Google search strategy: equilibrium constant equation favored ://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=equilibrium+constant+equation+favored I hope this helps! If you have any doubt regarding my answer, please don't hesitate to request a clarification. Best wishes! elmarto |
