Question 28
Chemical EquilibriumIn an equilibrium reaction, which of the following conditions indicates that maximum yield of the product will be obtained?
- A.Equilibrium constant is very large.
- B.ΔH − TΔS = 0.
- C.ΔH > TΔS.
- D.Equilibrium constant is less than zero.
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (Equilibrium constant is very large.)
Explanation
A very large equilibrium constant means the equilibrium mixture is mostly products.
