Coefficients for eq constant
What do I do when there is a coefficient in front of the products when solving for the equilibrium constant?

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
When there is a coefficient in front of the products, you raise either the concentration of that product, or the partial pressure of that product, to the coefficient that is in front.

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
You raise the concentrations of each reactant and each product to the power of that coefficient in the fraction. Make sure that the reaction is balanced first so you have the right coefficients.

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
First you balance your equation, then you raise the concentration or partial pressure of the product to that coefficient.

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
You take the concentration of that product or reactant in the equilibrium constant equation, and raise it to the power of whatever the stoichiometric coefficient is.

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
After balancing your equation, you would raise each substance's concentration to the power of its coefficient.

In order to figure out where the coefficients would go I saw this YouTube video which should help. He clearly explains the whole process : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ0KNQ5-KaI

Hi,
You would raise those coefficients to their respective product, assuming they are in the gaseous or aqueous phase for the equilibrium constant.
Hope this helps! :)

Re: Coefficients for eq constant
The coefficient is what you raise the concentration to the power of.
