Stability/Favorable

[Tanya Nguyen 1B]

When a question is asking to state whether a reactant or product is more favorable or more stable, would it be whichever one there is more of?

[Amanda Chang 2B]

Yes. If there is much more product (higher concentration of product) at equilibrium, then the reaction is product-favored, assuming K is larger than 10^3. If there is much more reactant (higher concentration of reactant) at equilibrium, then the reaction is reactant-favored, assuming K is smaller than 10^-3. Any value of K between 10^-3 and 10^3 is neither reactant- nor product-favored.

Yes, I believe that the side with the greater concentration is favored.

[Lauren Sarigumba 1K]

If the equilibrium constant K is greater than 1, then products are favored. When the equilibrium constant K is less than 1, reactants are favored.

greater concentration is favored :)

I believe that the side with the greater concentration is favored.
