Equilibrium Constant (KEquilibrium Constant (Keqeq))
When KWhen Keqeq
is large, is large, reaction reaction favors favors the the products.products.

Equilibrium Constant (KEquilibrium Constant (Keqeq))
When KWhen Keqeq
is small, is small, reaction reaction favors the favors the reactants.reactants.
