(a)
Interpretation:
Whether reactants or products are favored at equilibrium and equilibrium constant value
Concept introduction:
For a reversible reaction, equilibrium constant (
When energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic and the value of
Similarly, when energy is released, the reaction is exothermic and

Answer to Problem 6.64P
Reactants are favored.
Explanation of Solution
The magnitude of
Accordingly,
Therefore, reactants are favored at the equilibrium.
