Question

If equal concentrations are mixed (of products &reactants) then will the reaction proceed to the right or left?

Answer 1

There will be three cases in this question.

first will be that if the reaction has equilibrium constant =1,second greater and third less than1.

if Kc=1,then equilibrium will be attained.

If Kc>1,ans we add equal concentration , then equilibrium will shift in forward direction .

If Kc<1,and we add equal concentrations ,then equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.
