The value of the equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is . When the system is in equilibrium, it will include:
All reactants
Mostly reactants
Mostly products
Similar amounts of reactants and products
The magnitude of the equilibrium constant () is directly proportional to the concentrations of products and inversely proportional to the concentrations of the reactants. If , products predominate over reactants, indicating that the reaction proceeds nearly to completion. Since the given equilibrium constant is very large (), the equilibrium mixture will contain mostly products.
