Group of answer choices

The concentration of reactants exceeds the concentration of products

The reactants are solids

The concentrations of the reactants and products are equal

The concentration of products exceeds the concentration of reactants

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A

In the given case, the correct choice would be - The concentration of reactants exceeds the concentration of products

The equilibrium constant is simply a measure of the position of the equilibrium in terms of the concentration of the products and of the reactants in a given equilibrium reaction.

  • In other words, the equilibrium constant tells you if you should expect the reaction to favor the products or the reactants at a given temperature.

This is done by comparing the equilibrium concentrations and the stoichiometric coefficients of the chemical species involved in the reaction.

For your equilibrium reaction

2NO g ⇌ N2 g + O2   and K of [NO] = [tex]2 \times 10^{-9}[/tex]

the equilibrium constant takes the form

K = [tex]\frac {[NO]}{[N_2] [O_2]}[/tex]

K of products is very small than the k of reactants.

Thus, In the given case, the correct choice would be - The concentration of reactants exceeds the concentration of products
