Keq Reaction Lab Report

The Keq, ratio of the concentrations of product to reactant, reveals the amount of product formed depending on the number of reactant accessible. The first reaction A+B↔C+D(Keq= 3.9X10-12) favored reactant because Keq is less than 1, meaning more reactants than product is present. Thus, the reaction displays reactant(blue).This is an extreme case where the reaction does not proceed forward readily. For second reaction I+J↔K+L(Keq=8.7x10-1), reactant(blue) is favored, but shows adequate amount of product(yellow) because its Keq is closer to 1. In S+T↔U+V(Keq=5.2x1018), another extreme case, Keq is greater than 1, so less reactant is present. Consequently, the reaction is mostly complete, favoring product(yellow) side.
