Chapter 18, Problem 55E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The direction of equilibrium reaction with very small equilibrium constant is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Equilibrium constant is a constant at any point of equilibrium; where, the ratio of the concentration of the products, each raised to power of their respective coefficient, to the concentration of the reactants, each raised to a power of their respective coefficient. Its value signifies whether the reaction will take place in forward direction or reverse direction.
