## vera_ewing one year ago What does it mean if Keq = 1? A. Products and reactants are equally favored in the reaction. B. Products are favored over reactants in the reaction. C. Reactants are favored over products in the reaction. D. All of the reactants have turned into products in the reaction.

1. JFraser

KEQ is a $$ratio$$, the concentrations of the products over the concentrations of the reactants. If the ratio has a value of 1, what does that imply about the concentrations?

2. vera_ewing

All of the reactants have turned into products in the reaction.

3. JFraser

nope

4. vera_ewing

Products and reactants are equally favored in the reaction.

5. JFraser

if all the reactants had turned into products, the $$concentration$$ of the reactants would be zero.

6. JFraser

if [products] = [reactants], then what is the value of $$\frac{[products]}{[reactants]}$$?

7. vera_ewing

1/1?

8. JFraser

then the reaction favors the reactants and products $$equally$$

9. vera_ewing

So it's A?

10. JFraser

it is
