Chapter 15, Problem 49P(choose chapter or problem)
For each equilibrium constant, indicate if you would expect an equilibrium reaction mixture to be dominated by reactants or by products, or to contain significant amounts of both.
(a) \(K_{\mathrm{eq}}=5.2 \times 10^{17}\)
(b) \(K_{\text {eq }}=1.24\)
(c) \(K_{\text {eq }}=3.22 \times 10^{-21}\)

QUESTION:
For each equilibrium constant, indicate if you would expect an equilibrium reaction mixture to be dominated by reactants or by products, or to contain significant amounts of both.
(a) \(K_{\mathrm{eq}}=5.2 \times 10^{17}\)
(b) \(K_{\text {eq }}=1.24\)
(c) \(K_{\text {eq }}=3.22 \times 10^{-21}\)
(d) \(K_{e q}=0.47\)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Here we are going to find out whether the equilibrium reaction mixture is dominated by reactants or by products, or to contain significant amounts of both.
The equilibrium constant, Keq, can be used to find the concentrations of each component of a reversible reaction at equilibrium.
(a) When 
(b) When
(c) When 1, Neither direction is favored; forward reaction proceeds about halfway.
