What is the significance of the equilibrium constant? What does a large equilibrium constant tell us? A small one?
Reactent --------> Product
Equillibrium constant is a ratio of concertration of product to the concentration of reactant (tells about relation between products and reactants of a particular reaction).
equillibrium constant is depending on the temperature.
If equillibrium concentration is more or larger the particular reaction leads to forward reaction (concentration of products is more at equillibrium).
If equillibrium concentration is smaller then the particular reaction leads to backward reaction (concentration of reactants is more at equillibrium).
