Equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants raised to the power of their respective coefficients.
For example;
Thus,
Here, [ ] denotes the concentration of each specie and a, b are the coefficients of X and Y, respectively.
At any time, if the concentration of reactant (X) is higher than the concentration of product (Y), then;
At any time, if the concentration of product (Y) is higher than the concentration of reactant (X), then;
At any time, if the concentration of product (Y) is equal to the concentration of reactant (X), then;
