Question

For a reaction with a large equilibrium constant (Kc >> 1), it can be concluded that:
Options
A The reaction hardly proceeds
B The reactants are favored
C The products are favored
Correct Answer
D The rate is very slow
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium. A large Kc (>>1) means that at equilibrium, the concentration of products is much greater than that of reactants, indicating the products are favored.

Hint

K = [products]/[reactants]. What does a large value for this fraction tell you?
