Question 5
In the equilibrium constant expression \(K_{eq}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}\), the exponents \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\) are derived from the balanced chemical equation. For a general reaction \(aA + bB
ightleftharpoons cC + dD\), these exponents represent the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants (\(A\) and \(B\)) and products (\(C\) and \(D\)). The concentrations of reactants and products are represented by the terms inside the brackets (\([A]\), \([B]\), \([C]\), \([D]\)). The equilibrium constant is \(K_{eq}\) itself. The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are related to the rate - law expressions (not directly to the exponents in the equilibrium constant expression).
The equilibrium constant \(K_{eq}=\frac{[products]}{[reactants]}\). If \(K_{eq}<1\), then \(\frac{[products]}{[reactants]}<1\), which implies \([reactants]>[products]\). The equilibrium constant is related to the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium, not directly to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions (although at equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction). When \(K_{eq}\approx1\), the concentrations of products and reactants are about the same.
