Benzene is on...

Question

Benzene is one of the compounds used as octane enhancers in unleaded gasoline. It is manufactured by the catalytic conversion of acetylene to benzene.
$3 C_{2} H_{2} ⟶ C_{6} H_{6}$
Would this reaction be most useful commercially if $K$ were about $0.01$ , about $1$ , or about $10$ ? Explain your answer.

Solution

Explanation:- If the value of $K$ (rate constant) is greater than 1, then reaction is spontaneous so it can be used commercially.
