It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium
The equilibrium constant (K) gives information about the extent of a chemical reaction at equilibrium. It indicates the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium and can help predict the direction the reaction will proceed under certain conditions.

The information an acid or base equilibrium constant gives is that the acidity and base levels are equal to the equilibrium constant multi[plied by the water concentration.
The equilibrium constant (K) is used to describe the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium. It provides information about the relative concentrations of products and reactants at equilibrium.
It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium
The equilibrium constant, denoted as K, provides information about the extent to which reactants are converted into products at equilibrium. It is a ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants, raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. A large K value indicates that the reaction favors products at equilibrium, while a small K value indicates that the reaction favors reactants.
You can calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc) of the reaction. This constant gives you information about the extent of the reaction at equilibrium and helps predict the direction in which a reaction will proceed.
The unit for the equilibrium constant is dimensionless.
The equilibrium constant is a unitless quantity.
The magnitude of the equilibrium constant indicates the position of equilibrium for a reaction. A larger equilibrium constant suggests that the reaction favors the formation of products, while a smaller equilibrium constant indicates that the reaction favors the formation of reactants. The magnitude can therefore give insight into how much product is formed at equilibrium compared to reactants.
When a reverse reaction is at equilibrium, its equilibrium constant (K) is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the forward reaction. This means that if the forward reaction has an equilibrium constant ( K_f ), the reverse reaction will have an equilibrium constant ( K_r = \frac{1}{K_f} ). Therefore, the value of the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction reflects the ratio of the concentrations of reactants to products at equilibrium, but inverted.
The units for the equilibrium constant, Keq, are dimensionless.
