I need help! In an equilibrium reaction with a Keq of 1 × 108 A. products are favored. B. the reaction is nonspontaneous. C. the reaction is endothermic. D. reactants are favored.
When K is > than 1 products are favored. When q is < less than 1 reactants are favored. 1 x 108 = 108 which is > 1 so products are favored.
Answer: The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants. It is represented as \(K_{eq}\)
For the general reaction:
\(A+B\rightarrow C+D\)
Expression for equilibrium constant is given as:
\(K_{eq}=\frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]}\)
Conditions for \(K_{eq}\) are:
\(K_{eq}>1\), then products are favored
\(K_{eq}=1\), then forward reaction is equal to backward reaction
\(K_{eq}<1\), then reactants are favored
As, \(K_{eq}=1\times 10^8\) and is very much greater than 1, so products will be favored.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
