Practice question · Estimate
At equilibrium a reaction has M and M. Set the equilibrium constant.
Estimate on a scale from K = 0 (no product) (0) to K = 10 (product-dominated) (10).
Hints
- The constant is products over reactants, each raised to its coefficient.
- Compute 0.80 divided by 0.20.
Show the answer
4 (answers within ±0.4 count)
Why
. Any value above 1 means products dominate at equilibrium, though it says nothing whatever about how quickly that composition is reached.
