Question

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction 2so2 (g) + o2 (g) 2so3 (g) is keq = 2.80 ⋅ 102 at 999 k. at equilibrium, ________. the equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction 2so2 (g) + o2 (g) 2so3 (g) is keq = 2.80 102 at 999 k. at equilibrium, ________. products predominate reactants predominate roughly equal amounts of products and reactants are present only products are present only reactants are present

Answer 1

Answer;

b. products predominate

Explanation;

Keq = [products]/[reactants]  

if Keq > 1, the numerator is greater than the denominator.

In this case; keq = 2.80× 10^2

Which means the concentration of products is greater than that of the reactants .

Therefore, we would say that the products predorminate.
