Question

Small value of equilibrium constant show that :
a) The reaction is more in the forward direction and less in the backward direction
b) The reaction is less in the forward direction and more in the backward direction
c) The reaction is very little in the forward as well as backward direction
d) The reaction is taking place at high temperature

Choose the correct option.

Answer 1

Small value of equilibrium constant means concentration of the product in forward direction is small compared to reactant concentration at the same condition.

$b)$ The reaction is less in forward direction and more in backward direction.
