Question

Given the equilibrium: A+B <--> C. The greatest concentration of C would be produced if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is equal to

a. 1x10^-9
b. 1x10^9
c. 1x10^-3
d. 1x10^3

Answer 1

Answer: The greatest concentration of C would be produced if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is equal to
`1* 10^9`

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
`K_c`

For the given chemical reaction:

`A+B\rightarrow C`

The expression for
`K_c` is written as:

`K_c=([C])/([A][B])`

Thus higher is the value of
`K_c` , higher will be the concentration of C. Thus the greatest concentration of C would be produced if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is equal to
`1* 10^9`
