Question

The value of Keq for the reaction is 1.1 x 10^2. In this reaction, the equilibrium lies to the right and favors the reactants. What is the equilibrium direction if it favors the reactants and the Keq value is 1.1 x 10^2?

A) Equilibrium lies to the right and favors the reactants.
B) Equilibrium lies to the right and favors the products.
C) Equilibrium lies to the left and favors the reactants.
D) Equilibrium lies to the left and favors the products.

Answer 1

The answer is that equilibrium lies to the right and favors the products (B). The equilibrium direction is determined by the value of Keq. If Keq is greater than 1, the products are favored, and the equilibrium lies to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of Keq for the reaction is 1.1 x 10^2, and it favors the reactants. The equilibrium direction is determined by the value of Keq. If Keq is greater than 1, the products are favored and the equilibrium lies to the right.

Therefore, the answer is Equilibrium lies to the right and favors the products (B). The equilibrium direction is determined by the value of Keq. If Keq is greater than 1, the products are favored and the equilibrium lies to the right.
