If a reversible reaction attains equilibrium quickly, it predicts that

Correct answer: D. Kc >> 1

  • A. Kc > 1
  • B. Kc = 1
  • C. Kc < 1
  • D. Kc >> 1

Explanation

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is a measure of the ratio of the concentrations of the products to the reactants at equilibrium. A Kc value greater than 1 indicates that the products are favored at equilibrium, which means that the reaction will reach equilibrium quickly.

About Chemical Equilibrium

Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
