Problem 82

Given information

All reactants & products are present in their standard state.

We have to determine the direction in which reaction will proceed for the given value of equilibrium constant  

Step-by-step explanation

We know,

Equilibrium constant helps us to determine the amount of reactant & product at equilibrium in a reversible reaction. (at constant Temperature)

i.e.,

B = Concentration of product at equilibrium

A = Concentration of reactant at equilibrium

a & b are their respective stoichiometric coefficient

The direction of equilibrium reaction depends upon the value of equilibrium constant.
