Very small value of K indicates:
Correct answer: D. Low yield
- A. High yield
- B. No yield
- C. Moderate yield
- D. Low yield
Explanation
When the value of K, which represents the equilibrium constant, is very small, it indicates that the reaction has a low yield. This means that only a small amount of the reactants is converted into products at equilibrium.

About Reversible Reactions
A reversible reaction proceeds in both forward and backward directions, so reactants and products continue changing until dynamic equilibrium is established. The topic covers the meaning of equilibrium, the equality of forward and reverse rates, and how concentration, pressure and temperature disturb equilibrium, which is separate from the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
