When a reaction is at equilibrium is the equilibrium constant is equal to 1?
need not be..equilibrium constant is just a ratio of relative concentrations of products (multiplication of concentration in case of more than one products) to the concentration of reactants (multiplication of concentrations of reactants in case of more than one reactants)..the equilibrium concentration can be a very small number or can be a very number as well depending upon the relative concentrations of reactants and products..Unity equilibrium constants is just a special case which shows that the concentrations of products and reactants are equal..
What can you calculate if you know the concentration of a reaction's products and reactants as well as the coefficients of each in the balanced equation?
the equilibrium constant
Does taking water out of an equilibrium reaction change the equilibrium constant?
No, the equilibrium constant is independent of concentration as long as the ratio of products and reactants remains as is. It can be effected by anything that would influence the ratio of products and reactants, such as changes in temperature or the addition of a catalysis.
Looking at a free energy diagram for an equilibrium reaction what scenarios will favor the formation of more product?
The concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. The concentration of products is less than the concentration of products at equilibrium
What happens to the equilibrium concentration of reactants when the volume of the reaction system is decreased and why?
decrease in reactants and increase in products
What are the characteristic of a reaction that establishes equilibrium state once?
The concentration of reactants and products remain constant.

What of the following characterizes reaction at equilibrium?
The reactants concentration is equal to products concentration.
Looking at a free energy diagram for an equilibrium reaction what scenarios will favor the formation of more product?
The concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. The concentration of products is less than the concentration of products at equilibrium
How is the rate constant related to concentration of reactants?
As a chemical reaction proceed the concentration of the reactants keep on decreasing while those of the products keep on increasing how ever the rate of the reaction is also found to decrease this show that the rate of the reaction is directly related to the concentration of reactants
Looking at a free energy diagram for an equilibrium reaction which of the following scenarios will favor the formation of more reactant?
The concentration of reactants is less than the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. The concentration of products is greater than the concentration of products at equilibrium.
A reaction is dependent on the concentration of products and reactants?
Reversible Reaction :)
What happens to the equilibrium concentration of reactants when the volume of the reaction system is decreased and why?
decrease in reactants and increase in products
What happens to the mass of reactants in a chemical reaction?
The reactants will form products, so the amount of reactants will decrease, proportionally to the increase in products. The amount can be expressed in mass, concentration or moles.
Why don't the amount of reactants and products change in a reversible reaction?
The "amounts" of reactants and products DO change in a reversible reaction. What doesn't change is the concentration of these reactants and products AT EQUILIBRIUM. And also what does not change is the total mass of the system.
