Introduction:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power equal to their stoichiometric coefficient.
The extent of chemical reaction is predicted by the value of the equilibrium constant. If the value of the equilibrium constant is equal to one, it means the concentration of reactants is equal to the concentration of products. If the value of equilibrium constant is greater than one, it means the concentration of products predominates over the concentration of the reactants. If the value of equilibrium constant is less than one, it means the concentration of products is less than the concentration of the reactants.
