Practice question · Numerical answer
Compute K for A ⇌ C with [A] = 0.50 mol/L and [C] = 2.0 mol/L.
Hints
- Divide the product concentration by the reactant concentration.
- A ratio above one tells you which side is favoured.

Why
K = [C]/[A] = 2.0/0.50 = 4.0. Since K > 1, the equilibrium favours the product C.
