Given information

A chemist is given the task of synthesizing a molecule in two different trials and conducting both processes for the same amount of time. It is needed to describe why a reaction with a lower value of equilibrium constant produces a more desirable product than a reaction with a higher value of the equilibrium constant.

It is given that:

The value of  is  .

The value of   is .

The time is .

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The equilibrium constant is the relationship between the amount of reactant and product present at equilibrium in a reversible process at a certain temperature.
