In an equilibrium reaction, which of the following conditions indicates that maximum yield of the product will be obtained?
- A. Equilibrium constant is less than zero
- B. Equilibrium constant is very largeCorrect
- C. Equilibrium constant is very small B is favoured
- D. ΔH−TΔS=0, ΔH>TΔS
Explanation
A large value of the equilibrium constant indicates that the reaction lies more to the right, i.e. product formation is favoured. A small value of the equilibrium constant indicates that the backward reaction is favoured.
