Answer 2

A. It is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

This equilibrium constant can be expressed in many different formats.

• For any system, the molar concentration of all the species on the right side are related to the molar concentrations of those on the left side by the equilibrium constant.
• The equilibrium constant is a constant at a given temperature and it is temperature dependent.
• The derivation of the equilibrium constant is based on the law of mass action.
• It states that "the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reacting substances. "
