Question

What is the importance of equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

→Equilibrium constants can be vitally important in the context of chemical reactions as it tells you how reversible a reaction is.

→The equilibrium constant, K, is the concentration of the reactants over the concentration of products once the reaction has reached equilibrium. It make take a reaction some time to reach equilibrium once left at a constant temperature, pressure etc. For ease of computing please assume that all arrows below are double headed.

→For the reaction A + B → C the equilibrium constant is defined as                       K = [C]/[A][B].

→The value of K will tell you which molecules (C or A and B) are
