Values of K

[Kimberly 1H]

For values of K which are less than 10^-3, the reaction favors the reactants and for K larger than 10³ a reaction favors the product. But could someone help me clarify what "not strongly favored" means for intermediate values?

[Jessica Tsui 1H]

When K>10³ products are favored, meaning there is largely more product than reactant at equilibrium. The opposite is true for when K<10^-3. For the intermediate values, neither reactants nor products are "strongly favored", meaning there is a relatively equal amount of reactant and product at equilibrium.

When neither the products nor reactants are favored at equilibrium, that means that at equilibrium, the ratio of reactants to products is closer to 1:1
