Question

The equilibrium constant for an isomerization reaction is 6.2x1013.  Which of the following statements is/are true?

  1. The product concentration is much larger than the reactant concentration
  2. The product concentration is much smaller than the reactant concentration
  3. The rate constant for the forward reaction is much larger than the rate constant for the back reaction
  4. The rate constant for the forward reaction is much smaller than the rate constant for the back reaction
  5. The rate of the forward reaction is much larger than the rate of the back reaction
  6. The rate of the forward reaction is much smaller than the rate of the back reaction
Expert Solution
Explanation:

If equilibrium constant is very high value it means that:

Concentration of products are very high

Favors the forward reaction and rate of the forward reaction is much higher than that of backward reaction 

Rate constant for the forward reaction is much larger than the rate constant for the back reaction
