Chapter 17, Problem 40A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason in which products are favored in an equilibrium system with numerically large ${\text{K}}_{\text{eq}}$ value, needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The equilibrium state is that state in which rate of forward reaction is equals to rate reverse reactions in a closed vessel.

Answer to Problem 40A

The equilibrium constant is directly proportional to the product’s concentration. So ${\text{K}}_{\text{eq}}$ favors the products concentration in an equilibrium system.

Explanation of Solution

In an equilibrium constant expression, the equilibrium constant is directly based on the concentration of products. So, when the product concentration is increase then the equilibrium constant is also changes.

Conclusion

The equilibrium constant is changed with the concentration of products
