Magnitude of the Equilibrium Constant

  • K >1 products (forward reaction) are favored at equilibrium
    • If K is VERY large, reaction goes essentially to completion

                                   

  • K < 1 reactants (reverse reaction) are favored at equilibrium
    • If k is very small, reaction barely proceeds at all (“not occurring”)
