Question
What can we say about the relative concentrations of reactants and products when the position of equilibrium(a) lies to the left?(b) lies to the right?
Step 1
In this case, the reaction favors the reactants, and the equilibrium constant (K) is less than 1. Show more…

What can be said about the magnitude of the equilibrium constant in a reaction whose equilibrium lies far to the right? to the left?
When an equilibrium shifts to the right, what happens to each of the following? \begin{equation} \begin{array}{l}{\text { a. the concentration of the reactants }} \\ {\text { b. the concentration of the products }}\end{array} \end{equation}
Explain how you might deduce the equilibrium constant for a reaction in which you know the initial concentrations of the reactants and products and the equilibrium concentration of only one reactant or product.
