Can someone please explain what the pseudo equilibrium constant is? I am a bit confused. Thanks so much!

The pseudo equilibrium constant allows you to keep track of a stage of the reaction, focusing on an intermediate rather than the final product. For example, given the equilibrium reaction A + B <--> AB <--> C, the pseudo equilibrium constant would be the ratio of [AB]/[A][B].

Pseudoequilibrium is used to understand the equilibrium conditions of transition states by approximating that the reactions are at equilibrium.
