If the figure shown below reactant A (represented by square) is in equilibrium with product B (represented by circle). The equilibrium constant is:
(A)8
(B)2✓ Correct
(C)4
(D)1
Answer: (B)
Solution
At equilibrium the constant for A⇌B is the ratio of the amounts of product to reactant present. Counting the particles in the figure, there are 6 squares representing A and 11 circles representing B, so Keq=[A][B]=611≈1.8, which rounds to 2.
