How can the magnitude of an equilibrium constant indicate the extent of a reaction?
Kooikeria
The reaction proceeds to a very large extent if Kc >> 1. On the other hand, the reaction hardly proceeds if Kc << 1.

Knowing the equilibrium constant the composition of the system can be evaluated.

What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?
When a chemical reaction reach the equilibrium she can not continue spontaneously.
A very low value of equilibrium constant for a reaction can indicate that?
Favors the reactants.
What are Kp aND KC?
Kc is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction; Kp is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction at constant pressure.
What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium?
An equilibrium constant
What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction to equilibrium?
An equilibrium constant

What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction to equilibrium?
An equilibrium constant
In a reaction the equilibrium constant for the forward reaction is Kf and the equilibrium constant of the backward reaction is KB What is the relationship between Kf and KB?
Kb= 1/Kf (:
What happens when the equilibrium constant is zero for a reaction?
If the equilibrium constant is zero, the reaction canNOT (will NEVER) reach equilibrium, it can not react back because all products are 'removed' (= concentration is zero).
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.
What indicates a small equilibrium constant?
A small equilibrium constant value means equilibrium will never establish or the amount of products in reaction mixture is negligible.
What does an equilibrium constant give about a reaction?
It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium
What is meant by law of equilibrium?
Law of equilibrium - The principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction.
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.
