k versus k prime

[Sanjana Borle 2K]

I dont conceptually understand the difference between k and k prime. Why does k eq equal k divided by k prime? Is it products over reactants?

[MingdaH 3B]

k' is a constant generally used for the reverse reaction rate. It is similar to the concept of products over reactants, since the equation divides the rate at which products are formed over the rate at which reactants are formed.

[Juliana Chopelas 1A]

K is the normal rate of a reaction while k prime is the reverse rate of a reaction

[KSong_1J]

k is the rate constant for the forward reaction, while k prime is the rate constant for the reverse reaction

Yes, like the previous responders have said, k prime generally refers to the reverse reaction rate and k refers to the forward reaction rate.

[Kaylee Clarke 1G]

k prime refers to the reverse reaction while k refers to the forward reaction!

[Natalie Benitez 1E]

Is k and k' related to each other since one is the rate of the forward reaction and the other is the rate of the reverse reaction?
