When the equilibrium constant is small, it indicates:
Correct answer: D. very little forward reaction.
- A. reaction is at the start.
- B. reaction is at equilibrium.
- C. reaction is at the end.
- D. very little forward reaction.
Explanation
When the equilibrium constant is small, it indicates that the reaction favors the reactants. This means that there will be more reactants than products at equilibrium.

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.
