[A]a[B]b [C]c [D]d

When the Keq value is large, the number representing [A]a[B]b must be (larger or smaller) than the number representing [C]c[D]d. This relationship means that the (reactants or products) must be favored and that the mixture at equilibrium is largely (reactants or products).

Answer:

Smaller; products; products

Step-by-step explanation:

aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD


K_{\text{eq}} = \frac{\text{[C]}^(c)\text{[D]}^(d)}{\text{[A]}^(a)\text{[B ]}^(b)}\\\\\text{When the $K_{\text{eq}}$ is large, the number representing [A]$^(a)$[B ]$^(b)$ must be $\textbf{smaller}$ than the}\\\text{number representing [C]$^(c)$[D]$^(d)$. This relationship means that the $\textbf{products}$ must be favoured}\\\text{and that the mixture at equilibrium is largely $\textbf{products}$.}
