Question

How do you know if equilibrium favours your product?

Solution

  1. The value of the equilibrium constant K is to determine the equilibrium ratio of reactants to products. In an equilibrium reaction, the equilibrium ratio of the products to reactants must be greater than one (the concentration of products in the equilibrium mixture must be greater than that of the reactants) then the reaction is favoured.
  2. If the value of K>1 the products in the reaction is favoured. If the value of K<1 the reactants in the reaction is favoured.

Therefore, the above points clearly explain the condition of equilibrium to favour products.
