Which of the following is true for a system whose equilibrium constant is much smaller than one?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A system with an equilibrium constant much smaller than one indicates that there are more reactants than products at equilibrium, meaning that the reaction is favoring the reactants. Therefore, the reaction mixture contains mostly reactants at equilibrium. Choice C is not necessarily true as the rate of reaction can be slow or fast, depending on the specific reaction and conditions. Choice D is also not necessarily true as the relative amounts of reactants and products at equilibrium depend on the equilibrium constant, not the moles of reactants and products in the reaction. Choice B and E are both incorrect.
