If K value is very small then equilibrium position will shift:
Correct answer: A. Towards left
- A. Towards left
- B. Towards right
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. It is always constant value
Explanation
If K is very small it means forward reaction is just started, products are less stable, reactants are more stable and equilibrium position is shifted towards left side.

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.
