The keto tautomer is typically much more stable than the enol form, with K's of about 10 to the -5th power. You should know that this is essentially because the C=O. double bond is much more stable than the C=C double bond. FORMATION OF BOTH THE ENOL AND ENOLATE UNDER BASIC CONDITIONS.

Answer:

In most keto-enol tautomerisms, the equilibrium lies by far toward the keto form, indicating that the keto form is usually much more stable than the enol form, which can be attributed to the feet that a carbon-oxygen double bond is significantly stronger than a carbon-carbon double bond.
