Consider the following reaction:
CO(g) + 2H2(g) - CH4O (g)
Part: 0 / 5
K=2.3×104
Part 1 of 5
Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction.
Are the reactants or products favored at equilibrium? Select the single best answer.
neither
products
reactants
The expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction is as follows:
Kc = [CH4O] / [CO][H2]^2
In this reaction, since the equilibrium constant K is quite large (2.3x10^4), the products are favored at equilibrium.
