Question

Which of the following is true for a system whose equilibrium constant is relatively small? A. It will take a long time to reach equilibrium B. The equilibrium lies to the left C. The equilibrium lies to the right ** please explain** Which of the following is true for a system whose equilibrium constant is relatively small? A. It will take a long time to reach equilibrium B. The equilibrium lies to the left C. The equilibrium lies to the right ** please explain** A. It will take a long time to reach equilibrium B. The equilibrium lies to the left C. The equilibrium lies to the right ** please explain**

Explanation / Answer

answer : B. ) The equilibrium lies to the left

explanation:

equilibrium constant = Kc = [products] / [reactants]

if Kc > 1 that means products concentration is more than reactants concentration . so shift to right

if Kc <1 that means reactants concentration is more than products concentraiton reaction shifts to left

and equilibrium doesnot deal relation time to reach equilibrium position it is another chapter that is chemical kinetics

so correct answer is B)
