Question

What will happen if KC > 10^-3 in a chemical reaction?

(a) products are predominant

(b) reactants are predominant

(c) equilibrium

(d) dynamic equilibrium

I got this question during an interview for a job.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Applications of Equilibrium Constants topic in portion Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) dynamic equilibrium

For explanation I would say: If KC > 10^-3, the reactants are predominant over the products in a chemical reaction and the products are predominant, over the reactants in a chemical reaction, if  KC > 10^3, where KC is the equilibrium constant.
