The equilibrium constant for the conversion of A to D is predicted to be which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant (K_eq) is defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants at equilibrium. In this case, the products are D and B, and the reactants are A and S1. From the reaction scheme, we can see that the forward reaction involves the loss of A and the production of D and B, while the reverse reaction involves the loss of D and B and the production of A and S1. Since the forward reaction involves the production of D, the equilibrium constant must be greater than 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C) K_eq > 1.
