Interpretation:
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
When any reaction is at equilibrium then a constant expresses a relationship between the reactant side and the product side. This constant is known as equilibrium constant. It is denoted by

Using the free energy profile for a simple one-step reaction, show that at equilibrium K = kf/kr, where kf and kr, are the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions.
