What generalizations about an equilibrium constant can be made if the value for K is large?
It will take a short time to reach equilibrium It will take a long time to reach equilibrium The equilibrium lies to the right The equilibrium lies to the left Two of these One of those answers...
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..
The genetic equilibrium of a population can be disturbed by each except?
A large population size.
Which factor would most likely disrupt genetic equilibrium in a large population?
Genetic Drift
No of independent elastic constants required for isotropic material?
Two independent elastic constants
What are the real life applications of Equilibrium constants?
Equilibrium constants are essential to answering many thermodynamic questions and to figuring out how a chemical is gonna behave in a solution. On a routine basis -- meaning someone working in a lab -- you need equilibrium constants to make buffers (henderson-hasselbalch).
What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?
When a chemical reaction reach the equilibrium she can not continue spontaneously.
Can equilibrium constants be negative?
No. An equilibrium constant is derived from the products, powers, and ratios of the activities (essentially the concentrations) of the species that are in equilibrium. Since there is no such thing as a negative concentration, there is no way their products, powers or ratios can yield a negative number.
How can the magnitude of an equilibrium constant indicate the extent of a reaction?
The reaction proceeds to a very large extent if Kc >> 1. On the other hand, the reaction hardly proceeds if Kc << 1.
What would the effect be on the equilibrium constants if the total amount of cheerios used was doubled?
The value of K would be decreased by one half

A very low value of equilibrium constant for a reaction can indicate that?
Favors the reactants.
What is the difference between dissociation constant and equilibrium constant?
Equilibrium constants aren't changed if you change the concentrations of things present in the equilibrium. The only thing that changes an equilibrium constant is a change of temperature. The position of equilibrium is changed if you change the concentration of something present in the mixture. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves in such a way as to tend to undo the change that you have made.
If the temperature of a reaction increases what happens to the value of the equilibruim constant?
Equilibrium constant changes when temperature changes. For an endothermic reaction, the equilibrium constant increases with temperature while for an exothermic reaction equilibrium constant decreases with increase in temperature. Equilibrium constants are only affected by change in temperature.
Does a large equilibrium constant mean that the reaction must be rapid?
NO!!! A large Equilibrium Constant means that nearly all the reactants have been used up to reach the equilibrium. Conversely a small K(eq) indicates that equilibrium is reached when very little of the reactants have been used.
What does large feet and nose indicate in puberty?
Large feet indicate that you will have more height. Large nose can be a genetic trait.
What does a large standard deviation of the equilibrium constant mean?
It means that equilibrium may be attained at widely separated values.
